Internet Safety For Your Kids

How To Keep Your Kids Safe Online

Has this happened to you? Picture this. You are rounding up your family for the evening meal and repeated calls to your daughter have fallen on deaf ears.

Off you go to her room to give her a not to pleasant personal message to wash up for the evening meal. Because you are the type of parent who wants to instill a certain modicum of privacy you rap on her closed door. No response. Food is getting cold and after rapping again you open the door.

It’s immediately evident why Cathy couldn’t hear your calls or your knock. With her back to you the headphones almost appear to be permanently imbedded on her head.

As you walk up behind her to give her a tap your eyes are drawn to the monitor she is so enthralled with. Choking back a cry of horror you can’t believe what you are seeing that has her so mesmerized.

Here sits your beautiful pre-teen daughter. The same little girl you have nursed through diapers, potty training, mumps and every other childhood benchmark.

She’s had the talk about not speaking to strangers. She knows not to open the door to strangers if you aren’t home. She would never get into a car with someone without your permission. She’s had the drill about not letting anyone touch her inappropriately.

In short, you have done everything imaginable to keep her safe from harm – until now.

Your baby has an image on her monitor that you can’t even begin to describe. She is watching a live feed from a vile monster who has convinced her that it’s okay for him to show her different parts of his anatomy live and in graphic detail.

We are going to end our narrative here. Hopefully, Cathy’s parents have discovered this early enough to end it without too much damage to their little girl.

Has this ever happened to you? Does your child have his or her own computer? Is that computer in his/her own room? Have you done everything possible to insure that you don’t have a repeat of the scene above?

The Internet has revolutionized how we learn about the world. The possibilities for education and fun are endless. Unlike ourselves, our children are no longer constrained to the 12 or 24 volume encyclopedias we were provided. The world is virtually at their fingertips and we should do everything we can to encourage their exploration.

Unfortunately, it’s a sad testimony to the times we live in that such a wonderful tool is also a very dangerous weapon. And, there are thousands of unsavory predators lurking in the shadows just waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The odds are very high that even if you think you’ve taken every precaution you’ve not done enough. Whether you think you have all the bases covered you still need your own arsenal of tools.
