Online Safety for Kids | Child safety online

Archive for the ‘internet safety for children’ Category

My twin daughters are 8 and they’re getting more and more internet and computer savvy. There are always trends going around like "Neopets" and "Club Penguin" that they and their friends get into. I let them go on the computer for half an hour a day each, but of course I can’t watch them the whole time as I have three other younger kids.
I bought software which blocks most bad sites, and I’ve given them the "internet safety chat", but I was wondering if there’s anything more that you mothers do to keep your kids safe.

This person abused the knowledge he has of the internet and computers – his training. He obviously has emotional issues as he felt he had to spy on me and my child, as my son uses the pc as well. My computer was acting odd, as was my Internet and my Yahoo Messenger. I suspected he was hacking into my pc, and then he admitted it. He accused me of things that did not occur, so I am not sure just what his motivation was. However, it does make me very uncomfortable that this is a person whom we trust to watch over our safety and he chooses to abuse and stalk the private sector in his spare time. There are hearings going on right now about the possibilities of this exact personal abuse transpiring by members of the NSA to the public. I can tell you it does occur. I cannot believe this is legal or just. It certainly is terrifying as I use my pc for personal finances, etc. Now I no longer feel secure in my own home. How can I defend my privacy and my rights?

can u please give me ur opinion on it and fix the mistakes in there tanks

This marvelous book will touch on some very serious points; any average 12 or 13 will possibly face at some time in their life. In this essay I mostly focus on internet safety, and how you can use it for beneficial reasons. Usually for kids it is very hard to understand what kind of predators are behind the computer screen; but the story of dear Jo will explain all the hazards that a child/teen can face while on the internet. All readers, in all ages will find this book interesting and to make it a little more exciting I will write a brief summary of Dear Jo in the next two paragraphs. Every child must understand the risks of using a specific website or using the internet at all. I personally prefer to use the internet to communicate with my friends and family that I don’t get the opportunity to see often, or to research for school references.

I know this is the job for the police but we know they can’t do it all and there’s too many child predators or pedophiles on the Internet and too many children being abducted. We also know there are some parents who fail to talk to their children about Internet safety and fail to put in softwares that help record Internet activities and so forth…. we also know that children will lie to their parents about what they’re doing online.

Child predators really need to be dealt with because of those reasons. I’ve read that one can get into trouble if you go in a chat room and pretend to be a young child when you’re not. I don’t see why. There must be something else that can be done.

If I do enter a chat room and pretend to be a young child and I want to be anonymous when reporting this pedophile, is that possible? Is it possible to be anonymous and not involved at all once the report is in?

I just finished reading a question where the poster simply asked why America has become so greedy. He volunteers for his community, plans to travel to a third world nation to volunteer, wants to help this country change, etc. The posters were almost all being immature about it telling him to leave, that he’s an idiot regardless of his degree, etc.

Well, I have something to say…

Do you remember why this country became independent? Yes, because we were getting ridiculous taxes. They were taxing so much, from paper, to tea and tobacco, and we got tired of it.

Well do you see something wrong? We get taxed on EVERYTHING you buy. Manufacturers get taxed for the raw materials they purchase, then they sell to retailers and they pay tax when buying products. When those products are sold to you, the "consumer" you pay a sales tax on that. That same product was taxed several times. If you’re a smoker, you pay more in taxes than on an actual pack of cigarettes. They’re introducing a tax on soda (Aside the sales tax) and on "Tanning" for those UV tanning booths.

From your paycheck, if you add up all that’s taken away, you basically worked for several months..yes months…for free. All the money you made for those months was taken directly by your government. In New Jersey, it’s not uncommon at all to pay upwards of ,000 a year for homeowners as property tax as well. The interest you made in the bank? That gets taxed too.

And yet they still have no money and have a national debt of over 12 TRILLION dollars… (debtclock.com). Then you have the Wal-Marts… these guys that pay cents for their products knowingly made oversees by people who work almost full days straight and get compensated with enough to buy a bowl of rice and a bottle of water for the day, they come around and offer the same products for slightly cheaper (in many cases for only a few cents cheaper) than the competition and run all small businesses out. (Wal-Mart even sells coffins..that’s right…coffins…at an affordable price! Only online!). These gargantuan companies care nothing more than to squeeze every last dollar possible from the lower classes of america. Hey, I hear they pay a little over minimum wage, though, at least!

With so many enormous franchises, a lot of people have lost their touch with humanity. We are a social people. We are supposed to love our fellow man, respect and help. As the companies get larger and larger, they get colder and colder. The people running them are heartless pricks cashing in hundreds of millions of dollars per year for their salaries and laughing at the consumer the entire way.

We are conditioned to not give a hoot about our neighbors, to keep our faces stuck to the latest iphone, the latest slick and big tv! The next BIG BIG BIG car, we are taught to want everything, want it NOW, and want MORE. The average american is thousands in debt. We are trained to believe that we are nothing if we don’t own anything. The more you own, the better you are. The bigger your tv or car, the better you are.

It’s a country that started off on the right foot, but has been heading on a downward spiral so fast lately. There’s a lot of great people left, don’t get me wrong. These people, however, are quickly being outnumbered. There are less and less ethics, less and less morals, and more and more of our freedoms get taken away one at a time..but consistently enough. for your safety..

A law passed where you can’t sell tobacco or tobacco products over the internet…for the safety of our children! Don’t most kids stand outside a convenience store or gas station and ask people nearby to get the ciggarettes for them? I never heard of an underage kid buying a 1 pound bulk bag of tobacco, a tobacco injector, several cartons of empty tubes, and start cranking his own cigarettes. No..in the name of your children’s safety, they now guarantee that not only your children, but everyone else buys their ultra-taxed packs of cigarettes that are over a pack in New Jersey and over in New York.

Where they install cameras on traffic lights…it’s been proven that in many cases, they hand over the controls to the civil engineers who get a commission for every ticket the police give for running a red light, so the intentionally decrease the amount of time the yellow light is supposed to stay lit. this means that if you’re used to 4.5 seconds (Which is a standard in many counties across the nation), and suddenly you have a yellow light that now only lasts 3.8 seconds, that fraction of a second is the difference between you making it on time, or running a red light.

Tickets increase, revenues increase for the police departments and the civil engineers for their commissions, and us runts that just want to get to work on time have to pay the price for their trickery. In fact, sometimes th

I’ve been in a marriage for over 19 years and have been verbally humiliated for years. I looked up on the internet earlier that this is a form of domestic violence and grounds for divorce. We’re currently separated and I’ve always been very concerned for the children’s welfare and safety. I’m in shock to think that all this time I never considered that this could be a form of domestic violence.

I found one type on the internet made for cribs that has gaps on each end. I think the safest option right now for us is to take down the front end off of our daughter’s crib. It is a convertible crib so it turns into a daybed. The only problem is I am trying to find a bed rail so she doesn’t roll out. I have found bed rails for twin size beds that would work but it says not to use for any size mattress other than twin, queen or full. Any help?

I searched endlessly on the internet for a manufacturer who specializes in rubber materials. I could not find no manufacturer here in the Chicagoland area. Some of the them here specializes in arcylic, steel and other solid materials. I need rubber material because it is durable, it bends and stretches. The reason why I am searching for a rubber manfacturer is to create and mold my prototype of a child safety device that I have recently received a patent for. The child safety device has to be flexiable and has alittle stretch to be applied around cabinet handles. Please help!

OMG THANKS. BUT I FEEL KIND OF SCARED STILL.

I posted this same question in both the parenting and the computer/myspace section and I didn’t find what I was looking for, but was bashed by (I hope by children and teens) for wanting to "spy" on my child. So please don’t report me for posting here which seems to have some relatively bright adults here… I TRUST my 13 yr.-old daughter, but want to keep safety first. Does anyone know the best software in which to use to watch a child’s safety on the internet, particularly Myspace? Note: I’ve already made her space "private," have her password and keep the computer in the livingroom. The computer history just doesn’t show you everything. I’d be a neglectful mother if I didn’t watch my child’s safety. Any thoughts on software?
Yes, when I got her password I logged on and you wouldn’t believe the number of people on there who were adults! And chatting with her!!!! What these adults apparently do is make 2 sep. accounts: one is a "kid" account, they’re added to her friend’s list this way then they explain later that they’re really an adult and begin using (sometimes) their regular accounts to leave comments and chat w/ her. It’s not her I don’t trust, but the fact that she could be lead into such a thing. It’s the perverts I do not trust. I’m an educated adult and have raised her with very good safety values. But I’m NOT God and no one is a perfect parent. My friend does the sting work at the police dept. and he won’t allow his kids on Myspace or Facebook at all. Which actually speaks volumes.
