Internet Safety Squad Swamped
According to the clarionledger, the three "R's" of education are no longer reading, 'riting, and 'rithmetic. They've now been replaced by the four "R's" of internet safety: recognize, refuse, respond and report.
This information was picked up from i-SAFE America, a nonprofit organization designed to promote internet safety for kids and teens.
With 1 and 5 kids who go online receiving sexual solicitations, i-SAFE has a lot of work to do. And now new threats like cyberbullying and cyberstalking are making the situation even worse. More than 60 million teenagers worldwide log on every day--that's 60 million invitations for trouble when kids and parents don't know about internet safety.
I-Safe recommends that parents be aware of what their kids are up against on the internet, and know what kind "friends" their kids have online.
But, of course this is easier said than done, especially when so many kids want to be independent of their parents. And, in today's world many parents can't always be around to monitor what their kids are doing at all hours of the day or night.
This is why we provide the kinds of tools like WebWatcher that parents can use to protect their kids.
