A Review Of Child Safety Online
The advent of the Internet added new dimensions to the lives
of computer users, many of them good, but as with a lot of
things in life there is a downside.
Many adults get caught out by online scammers and as
we expect children to be more gullible than adults they need
protecting from predators, making child safety online essential.
Protecting our children is mainly common sense,
but for those who are new to the Internet it can be baffling
without knowing what to watch out for. Before I review the
ebook I'll tell you about my friend and her daughter.
Five years ago my friend's 12 year old daughter was
groomed by an online predator and my friend had no idea what
was happening until it was too late. She thought that her
daughters growing behavioural problems were down to the
transition from childhood to becoming a teenager - those
difficult years. My friend didn't know that she was using
school and a friends computer to go online and visit chat
rooms. That her daughter lost her childhood to a monster more
than twice her age who she met in a chat room.
My friend fought back and was even instrumental in getting
the law changed to protect children more. It took a long time
and a lot of pain and sorrow for all of the family before
things got back to anything like normal. Although things are
much better now the events of 5 years ago has
tainted their lives and that can never be altered.
Whats In The Ebook
In Child Safety Online there are detailed tips of
what parents should watch out for and how to deal
with any potential problems from perverts. Apart
from online predators other dangers are pornographic
websites, bullying, gambling and online games that are not
suitable for children.
In this ebook you learn about two types of Child Internet
Protection Software and how to use them. Also step by step
instructions are given on how to find out what sites your
children have visited and how to block them from accessing
danger sites. There are even sections on identity theft,
spyware and malware and how to avoid and deal with the
problems.
What I Think About It
Child Safety Online is well written and I
felt that it explored potential problems and the trouble
signs to watch out for in children thoroughly. The ebook is
full of excellent advice, in fact much better than I
expected. To me the only downside was that parents could
easily find themselves getting paranoid whilst reading
the warning signs, but it's a sad fact that sickos on the
internet are a real threat and a little paranoia is less
harmful than online predators.
If you are worried about online threats to your children
then I can recommend 'Child Safety Online' as a source of good
information and advice.
