Parental Control Software Still Necessary
In the midst of widespread hopes that legislation and parental concerns may be working to prevent online predators from preying upon children comes some chilling news.
According ecommercetimes.com, a recent "i-Safe survey" has found that 20% of the kids polled admit to having met, face to face, with someone they met online. Another 27% know someone their own age with an older Internet "friend," and another 7% were asked to keep that relationship with their online "friend" a secret.
This is, of course, a common online predator tactic aimed at keeping parents in the dark regarding who their kids are talking to online.
It's frightening but true: no matter how much legislation is out there, parents can't protect their kids from online predators unless they know who their kids are talking to online.
This is why WebWatcher is such an important tool for parents today. As one of the most highly rated of parental control software systems, it incorporates everything from email recording, to chat recording, website blocking, and more. It's also easy to use, and completely invisible when it's running.
Our recent legislation is designed to punish online predator's after they've commited their crimes; WebWatcher helps to prevent those crimes from ever happening in the first place.
