Schoolers often rely heavily on the net for research or interactive
curricula. We all know that there are huge inherent dangers in unfettered
access to the net. So in addition to filtering Wisechoice's software
also includes.
Time
limits-
each child or teen can be given a password protected profile that
will only allow access to the internet during approved times and days.
For example- You can set up access times for one child and different
ones for another, also each profile will have filtering levels selected
just for them.
Record
chatroom or social networking conversations-
Who are your kids talking to and what is being said? Some would say
this is too intrusive yet we constantly hear and see reports of predators
ensnaring kids through internet chatrooms. Our software will give
you the choice to track or not- you are the parent.
Accountability
reporting-
For no extra charge our software will provide a non erasable history
to see what places are being accessed on your computer. It can even
be configured to send you an email, text message on your phone or
Instant
message if someone is attempting to get to blocked sites-even if you
are away from home.
Recent
studies report that 70 percent of sexual advances over the Internet
happened while youngsters were on a home computer . Please
go to www.wisechoice.net to see how the filter works.
Almost
all of us have heard reports of kids being involved with MySpace or
FaceBook or the host other sites. We have also seen the reports of
when kids get involved with predators on these sites. NBC Dateline's
"To Catch a Predator" show demonstrated the risks graphically.
Our filtering puts the tools into the parents hands to limit access
to these sites. The filter can be set up various ways depending on
the age and maturity of the child. It is also very effective in protecting
the adults!
Most
kids are not even remotely prepared for the dangers posed by the dark
side of the Internet. Without some type of protective Internet filtering
anyone, no matter how old, can easily access hardcore pornography.
Why
are many so clueless to the dangers posed by the Internet. I have
discovered that most people are ignorant to the dangers, and secondly,
sadly many are just apathetic or even worse curious about the dangers.
Well,
what needs to be done? First, everyone needs to become educated about
the dangers on the Net. There are several good books available. Allow
me recommend "Kids Online" by Donna Rice Hughes. Secondly,
DO NOT HAVE THE INTERNET IN YOUR HOME without a good filtering solution.
Obviously I believe our filter offers one of the best filtering solutions
available. On each account you can filter as many as three computers
either PCs or Macs or a combination.
Use the
Internet to the fullest, it really is a wonderful tool. Just do it
responsibly and save yourselves the heartache of a broken child or
a broken marriage. It happens every day. |
