Online Predators and Sexual Offenders Won't Obey Simple Ordinances
The citizen who posted their opinions regarding sexual predators at telegram.com makes a good point: passing ordinances that keep pedophiles away from schools or day care centers may make us feel better, but probably won't help much.
As we have all seen in the news, sexual predators will go to extreme lengths to find and abuse children. The recent explosion in online predators proves this point well, since many of them are arrested after having traveled many miles in search of their victim.
The answer to this situation? Awareness, alongside strict punishments for sexual offenders and online predators.
Severe punishments of those who prey on our most vulnerable members of society are slowing beginning to appear. As legislators hear the voices of angry parents and concerned citizens, more and more sexual offenders receive stiff penalties for their crimes.
As for awareness, it seems impossible that any parent would be unaware of the dangers posed by online predators and other sexual offenders. The problems occur when those same parents think that their child would tell them if a stranger approached them online. Statistics prove that this just isn't true.
This is why parental control software is so useful. Parental control software, like Awareness Tech's WebWatcher, allows parents to block websites, to implement email recording, chat recording, and much more.
After all, if parents want to foster awareness of online predators and the dangers of sexual offenders, first they themselves need to be aware of what's happening when their children log-on to the Internet.
