Gonzales Fights Internet Predators
As Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales introduced Project Safe Childhood (PSC), he announced that it would not be an exaggeration to say that "we are in the midst of an epidemic of sexual abuse and the exploitation of our children."
And the signs have been all around us. There are more than 50,000 Internet predators online at any given time, and local and state detectives are struggling to catch as many of them as possible.
It seems like every day we hear about another arrest of someone who thought he was meeting a child or teenager, and instead was arrested by an Internet Predator sting operation.
PSC has been awarded $14 million to protect children online, but Gonzales himself predicts that computer based sexual exploitation crimes against children are expected to go up.
This is why parents need to be involved too. Every parent should talk to their kids, and often, about the dangers of Internet predators.
And, for those times when mom and dad can't be there to watch over their children, there's parental control software.
Parental control software, like Awareness Tech's WebWatcher, is completely invisible as it records everything that comes across your computer.
It's wonderful to see that child safety online is getting the attention it deserves, but nothing compares to the vigilance of smart parents.
