How can I help protect my child from online predators?

Kids' Internet access is now everywhere -- from laptops, to television screens, to cell phones and Ipods. In the past ten years, the amount of time our kids spend online daily has tripled and become a regular part of even our younger kids' lives. Though there are clear benefits, the Internet also poses unique parenting challenges.

How does a parent know if their child is engaging in inappropriate Internet activities? And how would you know if your child is cyberbullied if he doesn't tell you? Fortunately, there are steps parents can take and clues that help us monitor our cyber-kids and keep them safer online: the key is we just need to learn what to look and listen for.

Keep in mind that you can't monitor what you don't understand and 64 percent of teens say they do things online that they wouldn't want their parents to know about. So read those directions for each digital device. Attend workshops in your community or schools about Internet safety or ask your child to teach you how to use each digital device.

Get savvy about your child's online world so you can monitor. And do create clear Internet rules and post them on the computer. Three Internet rules are especially critical: People: Never meet anyone offline that you meet online.

People are not always who you think they are online. Public: The computer is public, so do not post unless you want the world -- and Grandma -- to read it. There are no take-backs!

Private: Do not give out personal information -- passwords, name, birth date, address, location, school name, social security numbers, and photos with personal data -- or make it easy for people to find you. Review those rules frequently and consider having your kids sign a pledge to adhere to them. Now you're ready to become your family's webmaster.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
