Important Facts
An estimated fifty thousand sexual predators are online at any given time, very skilled at building trust.1

Monitor
for
Safety -
Internet
safety
experts
advocate
monitoring
children’s
online
activity
and
educating
them on
safe,
responsible
use as a
more
constructive
approach
than
restricting
Internet
access.
-
Disconnecting
children
from the
Internet
will put
them at
great
disadvantage,
both
academically
and
socially.
The
Internet
is
recognized
to be a
very
valuable
learning
tool for
kids,
and is a
core
aspect
of our
culture.
- Filtering
provides
a false
sense of
security.
Filters
do not
effectively
address
the
biggest
online
threats
of
online
chat,
instant
messaging,
and
e-mail
activity.
Keeping
the
filtering
database
updated
with all
the new
websites
added
daily is
not
practical.
Their
censorship
may not
be
aligned
with
your
values.
Children
find
ways
around
the
filters
and then
you are
blind to
their
activity.
Maintain
Trust
and
Privacy
- The
flexibility
in
monitoring
levels
allows
the
parent
to
establish
the mix
of
monitoring

that
fosters
trust.
