Summer can be a very dangerous time for kids who use the Internet, and a very busy one for online predators. During the summer months, kids are often bored by a lack of activities, and the computer and the Internet seem like a convenient way to have fun and meet new people. And since many parents are still working, or just very busy, this creates the kind of situation that online predators hope for: unsupervised, lonely, or otherwise vulnerable kids going online.
For these reasons
Internet child safety should be even more important during summer months.

And though you may send your kids to something like a summer camp to keep their activities up over these free months, keep in mind that summer camps may be the easiest locale for an online predator to locate your child.
Kids who have blogs or online journals may inadvertently post photos of their summer camp, or even mention it by name, making it easy to pinpoint who they are and where they are staying. The lack of constant supervision makes this a prime location for an online predator looking for the perfect victim.
This is what makes Awareness Tech's WebWatcher such a fantastic tool for parents who need to keep tabs on their kids' computer use from a different location. If your child takes their own computer to camp, a phenomenon that is growing in popularity, WebWatcher's remote viewing capabilities mean that mom and dad can still know exactly who is talking to their child, and what is being said. That's right – you can access a record of everything your child has done on their laptop or computer from your very home or office.
It's factors like these that have made WebWatcher the highly rated product that it is. With website blocking, website recording, chat recording, and remote viewing parents can get a full picture of their child's Internet use no matter where they are.
Statistically, 1 in 5 girls, and 1 in 10 boys, will be sexually victimized before adulthood. With WebWatcher, parents have a bit more piece-of-mind knowing that it will be just that much harder for an online predator to take advantage of these summer months, and of their child.
