Stay Aware of Your Teens Online Activity With Computer Forensic Examinations by:Ed Opperman

Almost every day, many of us sit in our homes and hear about dreadful headlines that always seem to make their way into the news

. Many of these stories involve the Internet and tragedies that have occurred because parents were not aware of their teenager's misuse of the family computer.

Because of the dangers that many parents and teenagers are completely naive about that our kids can get caught up in before anyone even realizes what is taking place, there are numerous officials in law enforcement that are continuously doing everything they possibly can to educate our society on these dangers. Sometimes, however, their efforts are simply not enough. To ensure of the safety of our future generation, it is vitally important for parents to get involved as well. If you have a teenager or younger child in the home, it is vital that you continuously stay aware of their online activity. The most effective way to do this is with an investigation known as a computer forensic examination.

There are many teenagers that believe once they have deleted the tracks of their online activities that they are engaging in, that they have removed any possibility of their parents being able to find out exactly what they do while they are on the Internet. However, the opposite is actually true. Even after different types of data have been deleted from your teen's desktop or laptop computer, you still have the advantage of keeping yourself aware of their online activity when an expert private investigator is consulted to perform a computer forensic examination.

There are several different types of deleted data that you can have recovered from the hard drive of your teen's computer. There have even been teen runaways that families have been able to locate because of the data that was recovered from their PC's hard drive. In many cases, a computer forensic examination can provide you with the information you need to stop a serious situation before it has the chance to progress problems that could cause physical harm or worse, to your child. Deleted data that can be recovered using this preventative investigation includes files and documents that your teen has deleted, erased emails that they have sent and received, inappropriate photographs they may have sent to others and then deleted, and even detailed logs of chat sessions they have had with other people on messengers like Yahoo, AOL, MSN and various others.
