Stay Safe from Internet!

Internet, being one of the most beautiful aspects of man’s life in today’s era, has many things that would keep a man going without getting bored. Children enjoy surfing on the net, by playing on-line games, and going through certain interresting facts, that would be very useful for him in his life.

As a coin has two faces, the same, is the case of Internet. As there is the smilaing face of Internet, it also persists an another dangerous face. Many kaids love to browse the net, but certain websites, provide such unwanted things that would keep worrying any parent.

The Chat Rooms have always been a jeopardy and the main cause of concern for a long span of time, with adults posing as young children and chatting to unsuspecting kids, and in extreme cases trying to organise secret meetings with the child. Things are changing slowly and a lot of chat rooms have started to monitor these type of sites more closely, but unfortunately not everyone is following suit. The biggest problem with Chat Rooms is that they are generally mysterious so the person to whom they are chatting to may not be who they say they are.

There are some general help guidelines that your kids could follow to make their online chatting safer:

* Stay mysterious, they should use a nickname while online, and never reveal their real name.
* Never tell anyone where they live, not even if they have been chatting to the person for a long period of time.
* Never tell anyone what institution they go to.
* Never give out contact numbers.
* Never agree to meet someone without a parent present, and ensure the person they are going to meet knows a parent will be accompanying them.
* Tell an adult if anything strange happens or anything is said to them that makes them feel uncomfortable.
* Introduce yourself in the chat room to their online friends, especially if your child wants to meet them.

Websites with explicit images are another problem that children may be exposed to, a few of these websites have an initial warning on their homepage alerting the user to the fact that the site contains this sort of material, but seldom sites do so.

Another major worry for a parent is spam email containing explicit images, most of this type of spam gets sent from countries where any type of law is not easily enforced and therefore the culprits can go on sending, hopefully one day we will see the end of this type of marketing but unfortunately at the moment it is here to stay. A lot of email providers offer spam protection, but unfortunately most are not 100% acceptable or reliable, one of the best defences against this type of email is by using specialised software that restricts access to certain types of email, and by restricting any images that may be unsuitable for your child.
