Cyberbullying – a huge threat

If your children old enough to surf on the Internet, you are probably worried and fearful about their safety. Everybody knows that there are many traps and deceptions on the web. Perverts like pedophiles and exhibitionists, scammers who will swindle our passwords, accounts numbers etc., dangerous Forums (for example promoting anorexia and bulimia, encourage prostitution or gambling, content incitement to commit a crime, encouraging to commit suicide and much more), computer viruses, porn sites – these are the most known.

Why use Parental Controls Software?

Did you know that most of all kids had less than 11 years old, when they encountered their first porn site? Young children are curious and trusting. Children innocently and easily get into trouble online without being aware of the consequences. What should we do? Well, at first we should warn our kids against all these dangers waiting for them on the Internet. It is very important to explain them that on the Web we have no certainty about identity and intentions of strangers that we might meet there. What should be the second step? Well, let’s be honest – most of us have no time to monitor our kids’ every keystroke and click during their online activity, so I advise you to find professional and multitasking software recommended by the parents or specialists on the thematic forums. We have a wide choice on the market, so it is important, to select the right one. We all say that safety of our children is priceless, but do not worry – you do not have to spend all your savings for this tool. The prices are reasonable. I think that everyone can afford to buy a parental control software.

Variety of Parental Control Software

Providers of this kind of software offer a number of packages and types. We can choose from basic software like Internet Filters that we can install on our PCs or laptops to those which are dedicated to monitor the most popular social media like Facebook, Instagram, Google+, Twitter, Pinterest, Tumblr, LinkedIn. You can see exactly which on social networks your children have accounts, and you will be alerted when they will try sign up on new sites. Some of the software monitors the language used on your child’s social networking accounts (in order to identify harmful language and online threats such as cyberbullying, cyber-stalking, and grooming), the time which your children spend on browsing, the photos and videos they are publishing online and much more. Moreover, you will be even able to set time limits on the Internet or the computer, at which they would be available to use. No more asking to do the homework stop surfing on the Web or playing video games. I think that’s quite convenient.

You can also receive daily or weekly reports about all of your child’s activities on their social network accounts.

Summary

Our children should have a carefree and lovely childhood whit no bad memories, so it is indisputable, that we should protect them against these horrible things. For instance a sexual harassment do not mutilates the body but leaves scars in the psyche of the young person. Think about future of your children. Let them enjoy their adventure with first computer and surfing the web.
