The horrific story of a Georgia man who molested his own daughters for profit is yet another chilling reminder that internet safety, and particularly parental control software, can prevent child abuse and exploitation.
Apparently, the 41-year-old father molested two of his daughters online, catching it all on a webcam that transmitted this abuse to overseas watchers willing to pay. Their mother was so busy working 3 jobs and trying to support her family, that she had no idea what was going on with her children, her husband, or her computer.

Online child pornography is a billion dollar a year business?

It is indeed a nauseating tale, but unfortunately not one that we haven't heard of before. Child abuse and exploitation have been the focus of legal campaigns and legislation for some time; it's just so pervasive, it's hard to imagine. For example, child pornography is a billion dollar a year business, and its distribution via the Internet has exploded 500% in the last 10 years.
Meanwhile, Internet safety for kids is also threatened by online predators who use the net to prey on them, or to swap tips amongst each other.
Legislation and strict punishments have helped to get the word out in terms of child abuse online, but more than anything Internet safety is an issue of public awareness, and often, good
parental control software.
Parental control software isn't the same thing as simple website blocking; this is too easy for computer savvy kids to get around. To monitor who does what on your computer, especially when your kids are online, you need something like WebWatcher.
