Internet Security For Children

 It seems that most children in today's world are using computers and laptops and the trend should only continue as computers become more reasonably priced and increasingly important in our society. As a father to three great kids, one of my biggest concerns is the safety of my children while surfing on the Internet. Because of generous relatives, each of my three kids has their own laptop and because they received them as gifts, it would be difficult for me to take them away from them. (Thanks for checking with me, relatives!) So, the laptops appear to be here to stay. My major concern is how do I provide security for my children on the Internet?



Because it would be literally impossible for my wife and I to physically watch our children while they are on the Internet, there had to be a means by which they could be observed on the Internet without it being too obvious but yet powerful enough to keep them out of harm's way. So, I took on the mission to find a service that could get the job done...


Mostly everyone that uses computers knows about social networking sites like Facebook or MySpace. These sites are ingenious creations, bringing people together and providing a framework by which people can communicate the happenings of their lives with friends and family AND, if they're not careful, the entire Internet community. This is the key point: Internet predators can scope out information about your children while they interact with their social networking communities without them even knowing about it. The predators can find out details about addresses, phone numbers, and physical locations of your children at any given time, whether it be the location of a party or a social activity.


Another phenomenon is that of "cyberbullies", people that harass your children on the Internet, usually through social networking sites or e-mail applications. These people, sometimes kids or adults posing as children can be vicious, as it has been documented in the news in the last year. Emotionally fragile children are being subjected to threats of violence from unknown assailants, and don't know what to do about it.


Through some researching on the Internet, I am putting together a blog page dealing with the problem of providing Internet security for children. I believe that it is very important to the safety of all our children across the country and the world. Please visit my site to read about some of the results of my research - and keep an eye on your children.
