Internet Safety
Keeping our Children Safe
The U.S. Department of Justice's Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, the University of New Hampshire's
Crimes Against Children Research Center and NetSmartz conducted a comparison study of “1,500 youth aged 10 to 17”.
The study documented and compared the juvenile's “use of the Internet and experiences while online including unwanted
exposure to sexual solicitation, sexual material, and harassment”. The statistical data was generated by comparing yearly
reports 1999 and 2005. The statistics are disturbing. In 2005, 34% of juvenile Internet users “saw sexual material online”
compared to 25% in 1999. Also, 4% said “online solicitors asked them for nude or sexually explicit photographs of
themselves”. The chart below delivers SOBERING statistical data regarding teen Online Behaviors. And, “20% of teens
report that this is safe (i.e.”somewhat” or “very safe”) to share personal information on a public blog or networking site”.
Parents it's never too late to talk to your children or teens about protecting themselves and their identity from Internet
predators. I strongly suggest visiting www.netsmartz.org. It is a wonderful website full of resources, stories, and has
interactive activities for all age groups.

Plus, the site offers an Internet Safety Pledge for all age groups; included is a snapshot of a pledge which is
appropriate for grades K – 2. I like this because the language is easy for a small child to understand and follow.
Plus it requires a signature from the child and parent/guardian. This teaches responsibility, and the importance
of open communication with a parent or guardian.
Also, I added a brief list of Chatroom abbreviations.  There is a more extensive list on netsmartz.org however it's 13 pages 
long.  I found the list a bit overwhelming and I'm sure it's because I'm not texting proficient.   AAR (at any rate), there is a 
website that can translate the abbreviations; it is www.netlingo.com.  In order to translate find Internet Slang Translator.  I 
entered several abbreviations and FTMP (for the most part) it was correct.  I entered two longer abbreviations and the 
translator was unable to identify.  WTS (with that said), I still found it easy to use and the translations were on target.

Net Nanny:  pcmag.com: Review: http://www.netnanny.com

Bottom Line
Net Nanny does everything a parental­control utility should do. It also offers unique features 
like secure Web­traffic filtering and ESRB­based game control. Balancing privacy and 
security, it can record IM conversations only if they seem dangerous. E­mail alerts and full 
remote configuration let you manage wherever you are. Net Nanny remains our Editors' 
Choice for parental control.

Pros
Real­time content­based Web filtering, even in HTTPS. Can record all IMs and send an alert 
on problem conversations. ESRB­based game filtering. Interactive reports. E­mail alerts. Full 
remote management. Internet time scheduler now allows override.

Cons
New social­networking monitor is limited. More expensive than the competition for multi­PC 
households. Time­scheduler overrides not logged.

Safe Eyes: pcmag.com: Review http://www.internetsafety.com

Bottom Line
Safe Eyes 5 does everything you'd expect a parental control utility to do and more. Its Web­
based protection covers up to three computers (PC or Mac) and allows remote management 
from a browser. And this is one tough cookie?the kids won't break its protection.

Pros
Blocks inappropriate Web sites. Controls Internet usage time, can control which programs 
access the Internet. Logs online activity. Remote management capability. Can alert via e­
mail, text message, or phone.

Cons
Optional keyword­based URL blocking can block valid sites. Web­based admin interface can 
sometimes go blank waiting for server response
