subject: Parental Internet Monitoring Software - Protect Your Kids From Online Sexual Predators [print this page] Author: Mark Helmsman Author: Mark Helmsman
It's interesting that when I was a kid there was no need for parental internet monitoring software. Mainly because there was no Internet! I fondly remember staying outside playing kick the can and ghost in the graveyard without parent supervision until well past dark. And it never seemed like our parents were too concerned.
I mean, I'm sure they kept tabs on us, but they didn't watch our every move!
Unfortunately though, times are different now.
It's amazing to think about the advancements that have been made since the Internet went mainstream. But not all good things have advanced. Along with the really neat features the Internet has, there are equally as many bad elements - from online porn to online sexual predators.
And we, as parents, have a duty to keep a vigilent watch over our kids use of the Internet because of these bad elements. It's the same as when we were kids - our parents would ask where we were going, who we would be with and when we would be home - and we would invariably break the rules sometimes.
The difference is that now we have the Internet - and instead of us asking the above questions, we have to ask them what websites or chat rooms they will be on and who they are interacting with. And no matter how much you tell them to not visit a certain site, they will visit it when you are not looking - whether on purpose or on accident.
So, since we cannot watch over their shoulders all the time and there are huge numbers of sexual predators online, it is up to us to install and use a parental internet monitoring software.
These parental monitoring softwares have advanced to the point where they can track your childs every move online, record their passwords and even send you an email alert when they are doing something they shouldn't be.
So, in this day and age, it is absolutely essential to protect your children from the vulgarities of the Internet by investing in a quality parental internet monitoring software.About the Author:
