Step 1: Beware of Internet Hazards

Parents must be aware of online predators , and how they employ following applications to establish a close relationship with young childrens.

Online predators typically gather childrens' personal information, and other clues by using one or more of the following information to lure, blackmail, abuse or kidnap their targets.

• Blogs
• Chat Rooms
• Email Spams
• Instant Messaging (IM)
• Social Networking

Furthermore, parents should be aware that inapproproate content on the internet is ever growing phenomena. Even if chideren isn't looking for adult or violent material online, it's sometimes easy to stumble across it simply by following search-engine or instant-message links. Predators and scammers, meanwhile, often use pornographic pop-ups to lure users into clicking links that load malicious software such as spywares .

Last but not least, parents and children both are falling victims to online identity theft  everyday, therfore awareness about identity theft is key for having a safe internet experience.

Step 2: Provide Internet Safety Education to Children

Parents must teach their children how to use internet safely and must implement following guidelines:

• Blogging Safety Rules

Step 3: Regulate Internet - Put Tabs on Children

Last Step for internet child safety is to regulate internet usage of your children by using parental control software. By regulation, parents can filter or censor the websites or inappropriate contents, monitor their children's internet activity, and restrict internet usage of their children by putting an automated time control software.

I hope Internet Child Safety WebSite fulfills your dream of better protection of your child and family on the internet.
