Internet Safety for Kids and the Sexual Predator Epidemic
The Sheboygan Press takes a strong stance on Internet safety for kids. Sexual predators are using the Internet to prey on the young and vulnerable in record numbers, but parental control software is the crucial key to protecting children, a fact sadly missed in the article.
The article is correct, there's and epidemic of child exploitation going on today, including child porn, sexual molestation, Internet stalking and more.
And much of the advice they give is good: sexual predators do "use tricks to lure children," and staying away from strangers is always the safe thing to do. But, Internet safety for kids is a trickier business than this. You can't always rely on your kids to "talk to you about anything," especially older kids who want to establish their own independence.
This is why parental control software is such a helpful tool for parents today. With parental control software, like Awareness Tech's highly rated WebWatcher, parents can rest assured that every email, chat, and web image is there to be scrutinized should the parent suspect that something innappropriate is going on.
It's smart to prepare you child for every obstacle that can come their way, but the easiest way to keep a sexual predator from preying on your child is to know who your kid's new "friends" are, and what they're up to.
