Comments on: How to Keep Your Child Safe When Using the Internet

on 7/15/2008 Wonderful advice, Thank you.

on 7/7/2008 With more and more internet predetors making headline news, the need to protect our children is great. I have two teens and we've experienced negative internet interaction. Open communication with your kids is key. Computers are the future along with the internet. We cant avoid it, we can only embrace it and teach our children how to use it properly and safely.

on 12/4/2007 There is no such thing as too safe on the internet. Do not allow your child to have anything passworded that you can not over ride, including email accounts. And make a point of looking over their shoulder.

My 28 year old son, who has his own accounts, was contacted by an 11 year old girl from another state last week. She had found his personal information on a site involving a sport in which he is active. Her mother was quite surprised when we called on the phone number the girl supplied as apprised her of the situation. She thought she had her computer set up where the girl could not send emails....

Setting the programs helps, but nothing replaces the watchful eyes of a parent. No matter how much the kids whine about having no privacy, safety first....
