Kids Safety On The Internet

I can not blame the technology, the Internet, including the children of security (or insecurity) on the Internet. I spent more than five years in a technical field, and it would be shameful situation, and if I had anything to promote my child was in danger. However, there is something guilty, and I tend to return to the same question “Your children are at greater risk than today, when you were their age?”

Indeed I believe that they are more at risk than when we were kids. Let’s look at three different cases give some context for my remarks: bullying, sexual predators and violent content.

Stop the Cyber ​​Bully?

Think about when you were about the same age of the child. What you were doing was in the schoolyard? If you were unlucky, then you can as a child had been bullied by other children in school. Perhaps you have also seen an incident of bullying. Bullying in your child’s days are usually left in the schoolyard. When it was time to go home, driven mental effects of bullying in the house maybe six, and when she returned to school the next day, the bullying can be picked up from where ‘s he left out – verbally and possibly physical abuse. The important thing is that you pull the house was bullying. He stayed in school. Today, a baby usually do not have the luxury of leaving the school grounds for bullying. Bullying can follow them wherever they go, known as cyber-bullying.

Cyber ​​bullying is based on the Internet, and did not have the Internet as a child. The closest resemblance to something like the Internet, which was probably a phone or ham radio – and I’m really stretching my imagination. If someone was bullying to spread the word about you, the best they could possibly do is to tell their friends or school bully might spread the word on the phone – a very slow and difficult to spread the word bully.

Today, however, spreads the word bullying exceptionally fast, and difficult to stop cyber bullying. I’ve seen bullying live on the Internet, or Twitter and Facebook. Not only spread the word quickly bullying, but these can be taken anonymously. During the days of your child bullying was usually one-to-person, so you knew exactly who was behind the events. Today is the probability of remaining anonymous bully rather high. They hide behind false profiles and userid, then launch “spreads clandestine operation bully.”

Predators on the Internet?

Then the world predator. As a child did you ever afraid of being stalked by Predator? Have you ever thought that (the stalker) was going to take you away, and is meant? Your parents think hiding behind every dark corner of a predator? I know one thing never afraid of a thing, and my parents do not. If my parents were certainly not worried about breaking or rule of life. From time to time may have reminded me of “do not talk to strangers.” In fact, I felt very safe – walk to school and my friends and I played outside after dark. While there may have been real danger, I never felt threatened. I felt totally safe!

Today, as a parent I am extremely aware of the Internet Predator. I made my boyfriend already trained on chat rooms and how not to communicate with strangers. I’m not sure I have an older parent, but my instinct tells me to keep me alert and watch for any signs telling news is that my child at risk predator.

It ‘clear that Internet predators are real concerns among many parents. I always parents watching their children from telling anyone that a friend on Facebook who do not know. Parents tell their children hen “LMIRL NO” to anyone who is not already met in real life (aka God. Talk to Strangers). In the world of Twitter. Many teens are already a huge amount of Twitter followers, and dare not even guess at some more of them. I saw children with thousands of fans, and even if they have a fraction of the amount of followers they have, there is no practical way that everyone knows. So basically, if your kids are probably on Twitter to talk to strangers – I’m sure that many foreigners more than he speaks of them as a child.
