Monitoring Software
Help Protect Your Kids Online by Monitoring their Activity.
Trusting your kid is one thing - but can you trust others on the internet? The interest is full of porn, sexual predators, and other online criminals. Many of these these folks disguise themselves as other kids so they can take advantage of innocent kids. This happens DAILY!
Did you know ...
- 64% of all teens say they do things online they wouldn't want their parents to know about
- 81% of parents with teenagers say their kids are not careful when giving out information on the internet (and 79% of teenagers agree with this)
- Some online predators are getting kids to take nude photos of themselves and post them on social networking sites (like MySpace.com) or send them through email
The are only a few of the statistics and dangers on the internet. There are way too many to list.
Parents are responsible for protecting their children - and installing surveillance software to monitor your kids online activity is critical to protecting to your kids online.
Surveillance Software can help you:
- Monitor which web sites your kids are visiting - including when and how often they visited, and how much time they spent there.

I've compared a lot of different surveillance software, and this one appears to be the best and most complete.
Monitoring Software is NOT Enough
While I do believe it's important to have monitoring software on your home computers to help protect your kids, the simple truth is that your kids may have access to the internet from other computers.
Your kids may be accessing the internet from school, library, wireless connections and friend's home. And since many in the government will not support shutting down porn and other sites, it's impossible for you to protect your kids at all times.
This is why you must talk to your kids and educate them to the dangers on the internet. Teach them how to share (or not share) information about themselves. on the internet.
Teach them to recognize and report suspicious activity before others get hurt.
Here are some links to articles that can help you educate your kids about internet dangers:
