There are already so many dangers for us to worry about when it comes to our children.  It just doesn't seem fair that the internet could be one of the worst, does it?  It seems like that's the case because too many of us simply don't know how to control what's going on when our kids sit in front of the computer.

Just the other day I was talking with some neighbors and one of their kids was talking about finding instructions on how to make a pen gun and a flame thrower on YouTube.  If the kids are finding that stuff, imagine what else they are finding!

This week I'm talking about Social Networking sites like MySpace and Facebook.  I'm going to try to help you understand how dangerous it is for your kids to be posting what seems to be harmless information on the internet and then I'll talk a little with you about a software program that I recommend you put to use in your home to insure you have some greater level of control over what's going on when you're not looking.

They're our children and it's really up to us to govern what they are exposed to when they get online.  Don't sit around and wait for a government body to step in try to regulate the internet.  I don't believe the Internet SHOULD be regulated and I feel very strongly about that.  It's my belief that the Internet should be exactly what it is...  and that's why I think we should spend more time educating ourselves and our children about how to make the best use of it while avoiding the temptation to wander off into the unacceptable zones that exist.  Call me crazy, but it makes perfect sense to me.

I hope you enjoy the show and I'd like to hear back from you if you decide to give the software a try.  It's called System Surveillance Pro and you can get it by going to their website: http://www.gpsoftdev.com.
