What is the best privacy hedge for me?

Anybody know of any good hedges to plant to help provide privacy from the neighbors?

I'm looking for a hedge that falls into the following criteria...

1. Evergreen (no balding branches during winter/year-around privacy)

2. Child friendly (Not poisonous or thorny)

3. Rapid/fast growing (at least three feet a year, preferably up to 6 feet a year)

4. Doesn't exceed over 30 feet in height, though would prefer something between 6 feet and 15)

5. Grows higher then five feet. At least six feet.

Anything like this exist??? Thanks.

    Where you live would be help full as well. Try hemlock works in the north east, but in needs to be maintained.
