Information on Child Monitoring Software

Internet safety is all over the media these days, yet too many parents are afraid to rely on parental control software to keep the dangers of the Internet at bay. Unfortunately, this is exactly what sex offenders and Internet predators hope that parents will do.

But at Altoonamirror.com, parents who have chosen to protect their kids at all costs stand up to defend their policies.

Did you know: Any kid who uses the Internet has a 20% chance of running into a predator every time they log o?

Rebecca Hoke and Steve Mentzer aren't afraid to search their kids' rooms, they aren't afraid to monitor their myspace accounts, and they certainly aren't afraid to implement a good parental control software system. With these kinds of Internet safety precautions in place these parents have drastically reduced the likelihood that their kids could fall victim to a sex offender or Internet predator.

Sadly, too many parents don't take the dangers of the Internet seriously enough. They think it won't happen to their kids, that they know their kids, that they don't need to be such strict parents. But looking at the facts, this just doesn't prove true. The number of sex offenders and stalkers using the Internet has been at such an all time high, that any kid who uses the Internet has a 20% chance of running into a predator every time they log on. This is because predators know where it is that kids congregate online, and choose those places to find their victims.

The Internet is also proving to be a place where those who wouldn't have committed such crimes otherwise can feel secure in preying on boys and girls. Some say that this is due to the empowering feeling of anonymity that the Internet provides. So, while sex offenders see the Internet as a means of continuing their criminal behavior, many others who have no previous history of sexual abuse are also using it to commit crimes against children because they don't think they'll get caught.

Combining such trends with the natural talkativeness of kids today leads to a situation that Internet safety experts call "critical."

This is why so many parents are turning to parental control software. As Hoke goes on to say in the article, her kids can hate them now, but they'll understand later. Parents just can't protect their kids too much when it comes to the Internet, "if you can stop a kid from running into a burning building, would you?"

Here at Awareness Tech we are very aware of the dangers of the Internet, which is exactly why we designed WebWatcher to do what it does. With WebWatcher, parents don't have to struggle to understand how the system works, or to wait until their kids aren't around to get results. The system is easy to install, easy to use, and can be checked at any time for real-time results from a remote location. It's also completely invisible, so it's up to the parent to decide what their child will know, and provides everything that parents need to maintain Internet safety in the home.

Parents like Hoke and Mentzer know that the dangers of the Internet are not to be taken lightly, and we applaud their decision to meet these problem head-on, and to protect their kids regardless of whether or not their children appreciate it today.
