sexual solicitation over the Internet." Net Nanny is a powerful, yet
simple to install parental control solution that helps parents

Paedophiles grooming children online is
probably one of the top fears amongst parents. How do you know that
the online "friendship" that your child has struck up is genuine?

Site could be targeting your children.
Child Safety is the responsibility of all responsible adults.
What do some adults think about
child safety online?
-
Think they know
already
-
Think their children
will not be targeted - it only happens to other peoples children
-
Concerns about child
safety online are hysterical and based on media hype
-
Online grooming is
just harmless fun
-
Child Safety Online
is not a problem in the UK, it mostly happens overseas
-
My children are
smart so I don't need to worry about them surfing the net
unsupervised
-
I don't understand
the Internet or computers so I don't need to know what my
children do online
-
I've already spent
money on a computer so I don't want to spend anymore on child
safety features
-
I don't have the
time to find out about my children's online habits - and they
wouldn't want me to!
25% of children and young people surveyed said they had met up in

Bullying has taken on a whole new concept
with the advent of the digital age and almost 35% of children in a
recent survey said they had been subjected to cyber bullying.
In January 2007 it
was revealed that a number of British nationals who had been
convicted of crimes abroad, including 29 for child sex offences, had
not had their information added to the UK Police National Computer.
This posed a potential risk to children as information about these
crimes was not accessible to employers to be taken into account in
recruitment decisions. source:

Children and young people often place themselves at risk online by
engaging in risky, cybersexual behaviour. These situations could
have been prevented if young users had been sufficiently empowered
to stay in control of their personal information online or recognise
and take steps to protect themselves from risky engagement with
suspicious contacts. Source:
