Online Safety Still Hard To Protect
With the passing of the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, and the overwhelming support for the fledgeling bill the Deleting Online Predators Act, many parents are breathing a sigh of relief. Both of these laws enforce strict regulations and high levels of punishment for those who prey upon children, and online predators who use the Internet to do so.
And yet, parents are still the first line of defense against the dangers of the Internet.
At americanchronicle.com, it's reported that 71% of 13 to 17-year-olds online report receiving messages online from someone they don't know. And the article goes on to say that today both adults and kids who meet someone online are no longer uncomfortable meeting that same person in the real world. It's become the norm.
These new laws are a wonderful means of punishing online predators and sexual predators, but to prevent the crimes in the first place, parents need to know who their kids are talking to online, and what's being said.
At Awareness Tech, this is exactly why we created WebWatcher. It's easy to use, easy to install, and completely invisible while running.
It's the best in parental control software, and the first line of defense against today's most dangerous predators.
