Signs That Your Child Is Online With A Predator
Would you know if your child was online with an internet predator? According to cbs11tv.com, 42 percent of teens post personal information online and almost a third of them have chatted online with strangers about sex.
In one online experiment, an internet predator prosecutor posed as a 5th grade girl on myspace.com. Within 12 minutes she was contacted by an adult male, asking her questions of a sexual nature, and trying to get her phone number.
According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, you should be concerned whenever your child is online. But, be especially careful if your child seems to spend a lot of time online, doesn't want you to know what he or she is doing online, becomes withdrawn, or suddenly makes unexplainable phone calls.
Or, you could buy some piece of mind with good parental monitoring software. With the right software, you can block webpages, addresses, and even monitor everything your child does at the computer--online and offline. It's scary, but in today's world you can't be too careful.
