The Best Parental Control Software Keeps Predators Out Of The Home
It seems that the best parental control software isn't receiving the press it deserves, as parents and lawmakers don't give online predators and the stalking of kids online the attention that these issues require.
At newstimeslive.com, Danbury, Connecticut is touted as the first community in their state to potentially "bar convicted sex offenders from city-run parks and recreation areas." And while this measure is a good one that could prove useful in protecting kids, what we really need to do is focus on where the sexual predators are congregating right now.
And that would the Internet.
Today, a kid who logs-on has a 1 in 4 chance of being approached with unwanted sexual attention, and 1 in 53 will be aggressively pursued by an online predator seeking to meet the child face to face. With millions of kids using the Internet every day, the statistics are staggering.
And as council member Lynn Taborsak reminds us, these kinds of ordinances do nothing to protect children "at the mall or online."
This is where parents must step in. The best parental control software systems will offer parents a full picture of their child's Internet use. This should include email recording, chat recording, website blocking and website recording.
Awareness Tech's WebWatcher offers all of this, and more. With tools like WebWatcher, lawmakers can protect kids outdoors, and parents can keep them safe in the home.
