Make Internet
filtering part of an overall strategy which includes these
rules:
Install an effective internet filtering program on your computer which
will block internet pornography
such as www.wisechoice.net
- Put the computer in a central location in your
home which gets lots of traffic. NEVER let your children have
a computer connected to the Internet in their room behind closed
doors.
- Have a regular routine of checking the history
files on your computer to see where everyone has been surfing.
And make sure your family knows you're checking. Wisechoice's
accountability
reporting will actually alert you if someone is attempting
to access block files.
- No chat rooms, unless it is controlled chat where
the only folks allowed in are there by permission.
- Do not leave your children, no matter what age,
on the computer as a baby sitter when you need to be away.
- Password-protect your Internet access, and do
not let your children have access without your permission.
- Talk openly with your family members about the
dangers and keep each other accountable.
In
addition to using parental
control software, we highly recommend that you follow the above
suggestions to make sure that you family is safe from unwanted Internet
material. If you have any questions about our content
control filter, don't hesitate to contact us. |
