Where You Should Let Your Child On The Internet

You need to be very careful with this age of technology. Children are on the internet at all times of the day and are finding their ways to places they should not be allowed. With online pornography simply a click away, you need to ensure that the security settings are right on your computer. In fact you may want to ensure that you don't even go to these websites, because it seems like once you do all sorts of adware will pop up for other sites.Who's to say that when this happens your child won't be the one sitting in front of the computer screen, and click yes? It's not hard for a child to lie about their age, kids today are not stupid and they can figure out easily what year they need to be born in to allow them access to this once forbidden landscape of debauchery. All it takes is a simple date; these sites don't go and check what else is up with the person who is coming to their site. Hell they don't even care; they just want those people on their website hopefully purchasing a video or something else.Ok just because you might have to purchase a video doesn't mean that once your child has lied about his age that he's not seeing things that are only intended to be viewed by adult eyes. No in fact as soon as he has hit enter with his or her fake birth date the gates are wide open they will be seeing people unclothed and in acts of well things they just shouldn't be seeing.Society today seems to have such a lax viewpoint on different things, that when I was little were a big deal. Sex was discussed on TV let alone for a kid to even know what the heck it was. We didn't have computers until around age 12. But even so, the internet was not even something that we went on, heck I can't even tell you the first time I went online, it had to be when I was in my 20's. But nowadays there are kids on the computer from who knows what age. With all these different social sites out there they sign up on, and chat to people who may be older then they even admit.We've all seen those 48 hour episodes where these older men sit there and hit on a girl who they think is a teen. They even drive to the girl's house to meet her, some bringing alcohol. What the hell is wrong with our society when these men do this, and some don't even seem to be upset about being caught? Are we so corrupt and unmoral? No we just need to make sure as parents that we are watching what our kids do on the computer and setting the security settings so they can't get on someplace they shouldn't be. Be sure to have your anti-spyware, anti-virus and registry cleaner in alert also. In fact just try and stay off those sites yourself, it will be amazing how much of a difference it will make in raising your child.
