What can parents do?
There are numerous software programs that attempt to prevent
children from visiting inappropriate sites on the Web. In general,
these work by restricting searches on certain terms or by blocking
inappropriate sites from downloading onto your computer. Most
programs are customizable, so parents can make their own choices
about what is acceptable.
Visit KidsOnlineSaftey.com for more information and recommendations.
What else can I do?
Teach your children to use the Internet responsibly. An excellent starting point is
Child Safety on the Information
Superhighway, a brochure from the Interactive Services Association that includes a set
of guidelines for parents.
