Did you know that 1 out of 4 children were sent pictures of
people who were naked or having sex?
That 1 out of 5 children were solicited for sex on the Internet?
About 50% of people on the Internet have made phone calls with
someone the chatted with online.
Knowing this, do you know what strangers are saying to your
kids? What can you do to protect your children from unscrupulous
people in the Internet? Nowadays, children and teens spend more
time on the computer. Even though the Internet has become the
primary source of communication for them, it is also a dangerous
place. There are some unscrupulous people out there that would
go to any extent to engage in indecent conversations and
relationships with your children. A study revealed that 30% of
1,200 teenagers had been sexually harassed online and about 50%
had conducted cyber love affairs, visited porn sites and read
their parents' e-mails. Curiosity can be very dangerous. Even
though this is normal at their age, curiosity can lead to giving
out personal information such as names, addresses, phone
numbers, school names and more. Since the other person talking
to your kids cannot be seen, a 60-year old can pose as a 16-year
old and win your kid's trust very easily. I know that we, as
parents, are not always watching what our kids are doing online
but it's important to know the options we have to protect our
children and avoid major problems. There are blocking softwares
that you can purchase to filter web sites containing sex,
sexuality and other adult sites. You can also get a spy software
that will let you know everything your kids are doing online.
These softwares will monitor instant messages, chats, emails,
web site URLs and much more. Not only do you see what your child
types online but what is said back as well. They monitor both
incoming and outgoing activity.
Additionally, your kids will not be able to get around the
software programs by clearing cache or history because they get
everything as it happens, including passwords. These software
programs run in total secrecy, and are very hard to find in the
computer. They will not slow down your computer, or do anything
noticeable to the user. In order to see the recorded
information, all you do is enter your secret password and they
will activate…but only for you. These programs do not appear in
the START menu, nor will they appear in the CTR-ALT-DEL Task
Manager. Protect Your Children Now. For more information, click
