The Dangers of the Internet Require Parental Control Software
Parental control software ought to be a must for any parent who has kids, and Internet access in the home. At fortwayne.com, Miami police officers rely on similar software to protect all citizens from the dangers of the Internet, "patrolling" social networking sites to stop everything from school violence to identity theft.
Just as crimes are committed online, the police are using the Internet to find criminals. It makes brilliant sense. As Mike Phillips, special agent supervisor for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement's Computer Crimes Division says, "we have to go where the criminals are, and they're on the Internet."
In particular, social networking sites like Myspace provide the authorities with the information they need to know. Myspace boasts over 140 million users, and by checking out blogs, chats, journals and myspace pages, Florida police have arrested drug dealers, stopped burglars from fencing stolen goods, and thwarted a possible Columbine-like attack at a middle school.
And that's only been in the last 2 months.
So the question here is this: why aren't more parents relying on parental control software to protect themselves and their kids from the dangers of the Internet? Kids use social networking sites, even when their parents aren't aware of it, and while it's smart for the authorities to use the Internet to fight crime, there's just no way that they can be expected to watch over the entire online community.
This is why Awareness Tech's WebWatcher is so easy to use. With WebWatcher, parents can enjoy email recording, chat recording, website blocking, and more. It's easy to install and easy to use.
It's the Internet safety tool that every parent should have in their home.
