Sample email: =========================== The largest group of consumers of Internet pornography are youth 12-17 years of age.” Kastleman, Mark. The Drug of the New Millennium: The Science of How Internet Pornography Radically Alters the Human Brain and Body. 2nd Edition. Orem, UT: Granite Publishing, 2001. There’s no substitute for educating our children to be safe online, but what can you do when they are at home and you’re not? You can do a lot. Check out www.ncwiseowl.org/kscope/parents.html for: ---How to find your child (and your child's friends) on MySpace.com ---How to download and install software that sits undetected on the hard drive and records everything your child does on the computer (It records every keystroke, every chat, every email and every web site visited. There's one program that will automatically email you at work with an exact copy of every instant message, chat or email your child sends/receives at home. The minute he/she sends it, you get a copy of it in your email. Picture your teen's face when you call from work and tell him/her to stop Instant Messaging some stranger from Jersey with the screen name “DimeBag.” Better yet, if any suspicious person tries to arrange a face-to-face meeting you can submit documented proof to the police!) ---How to use the free logging capabilities that are built-in to AOL Instant Messenger. In minutes, you can set it up to record every message or chat sent or received by your child. ---How to make the discussion of Family Internet Rules a "learning experience they will NEVER forget" ---Little known facts about toothing, iPods, camera phones, podcasts, text messaging, and more (little known by the parents, not the kids) You CAN be as informed about your child’s online life as you are about his/her real life. It’s not about being nosey and intrusive; it is about smart parenting. You know how tech-savvy this generation is, and how computer rules often go “in one ear and out the other.” It is no longer enough to put the computer in a public place! ============================================= |
