Online Predators Don't Need Much Time
As horrible as they are, more and more parents are becoming aware of online predators and the great lengths they'll go in order to prey upon a child.
The process by which a predator will gain the trust of an unsuspecting or vulnerable child, what they call "grooming," can take weeks or months, during which time the victim will be made to feel safe and close to their new "friend."
But, this process doesn't always have to take this long.
According to Special Agent Steve Blackwell with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, referenced at accessnorthga.com, in "less then 20 minutes" an online predator can find out all the information they need to go after a victim.
Less then 20 minutes -- that's awfully quick, and it's just too easy for a parent to turn their back long enough to allow that predator access to their child.
Here's just one more reason why parental control software is a necessity for any parent who has a home computer. Awareness Tech's WebWatcher, one of the highest rated of the bunch, allows parents to use website blocking software alongside website recoding, chat recording, and more.
If it only takes an online predator 20 minutes to pinpoint their next victim, then parents need to be vigilant round-the-clock to keep their kids safe.
