Child Safety Bill is Only Half the Battle Against Online Predators
Just this week, President Bush signed a new law that, according to the washingtonpost.com, will close many loopholes that currently exist in the cyber world, and had allowed children to be exploited by online predators.
Here at AwarenessTech, we can't support such measures enough. Since so many pedophiles use the Internet to prey on vulnerable children, it makes sense that not only should this be made more difficult for them to accomplish, but we should turn the tables, and use the Internet to protect our kids as well.
This law, named after Adam Walsh, the murdered child of advocate John Walsh, will establish nationwide databases that will aid law enforcement in pursuing sex offenders and online predators, will establish a federal DNA database to track pedophiles, will provide funding for global positioning devices, and more.
And yet, as always we at AwarenessTech caution parents to stay vigilant. Even as President Bush signed this law into effect, The Houston Chronicle details a sting that led to the arrest of four online predators who tried to use the Internet to meet and sexually abuse what they thought were unsuspecting kids. One suspect had even been arrested for the same crime before.
This is why WebWatcher is still the best tool out there for parents to protect their kids online. Webwatcher allows parents to use web blocking software, website recording software, email recording software, and more. With both parents and legislatures working together to protect kids from online predators, hopefully we can control the epidemic of Internet exploitation threatening our kids today.
