Some Parents Fail To Protect Against Internet Stalkers
At the heralddemocrat.com, journalist Mary Jane Farmer does an excellent job of examining why it is that some parents fail to keep Internet stalkers away from their kids.
Many parents feel that parental control software is too invasive, and their child can be trusted to avoid Internet stalkers. But as the article says, just as parents have a responsibility to keep their kids "housed, fed, and protected," they also have the responsibility to keep their kids safe from those who would do them harm, even when the child disagrees.
And for those who think that they can trust their child to avoid Internet stalkers, many, many online predators masquerade as someone in the child's age group in order to get the kind of information that allows them to locate their new victim. These days, in less than an hour an Internet stalker can find out where your child lives, where they go to school, and even their name or nickname.
This is why parental control software is such a useful tool for today's busy parents. Awareness Tech's WebWatcher, one of the most highly rated of parental control software systems, allows parents chat recording, email recording, website blocking, and more. It also has remote viewing capabilities, so busy parents can check on their child's Internet use from work.
Kids just don't have the decision-making skills that adults have, and with WebWatcher parents can help their kids to avoid those dangerous individuals who would prey upon their inexperience.
