Children are innocent for the most part and naive to the dangers lurking in the adult world. The internet is an open door for luring the innocence into dark places such as pornography or strangers who seek to prey upon children. It's enough for parents to protect their children in the every day world of community. Internet Safety Software offers a way to help build a safety net around children when parents cannot be there.

Ultimately, you want to trust your teens enough to allow them to surf the internet. You tell yourself that you did your best with parenting and tried to teach them right from wrong and how to make the proper moral choices. The reality exists in an imperfect world that makes it impossible to trust the people who come in your child's path, no matter the age. That is why it is imperative to take extra precautions with the advent of the internet. Teens are texting and using MySpace at increasing rates on a daily basis. They have access to computers at home, in school and in public places like libraries and cafes.

While public places take measures to protect children, you are responsible for what happens at home on your computer. Make it a safer place by using parental controls then add further safety nets by using the Spector Soft program to monitor where your child goes while online when you are not looking. This will provide a way for you to know if anything is happening that needs your parental intervention. A camera acts as your eyes to monitor webpages viewed, keystrokes typed, emails read and the ever increasing chat rooms, a noted place for predators to lurk. Be there with your invisible cyber hand to hold on to their safety net without imposing too strict restrictions on them that could damage their sense of freedom and expression. Sleep better at night knowing that you are there invisibly doing what parents were meant to do: loving and protecting your child from harm.
