3,500 registered sex offenders in New York were recently kicked off of MySpace and Facebook. This purging was able to happen due to the Electronic Securing and Targeting of Online Predators Act (“E-STOP”) that was authored by Attorney General Andrew Cuomo.

At a Manhattan news conference, Cuomo said:

“Beware of the danger of the Internet. It is a great tool…but the most dangerous place can be a young person in their own bedroom on their laptop…You don’t really know where they are and you don’t really know who they are talking to.”

With the proper tools in place, the Internet can be a safer place, and you can know where your kids are going online and who they are talking to.

Internet monitoring software, like Bsecure, can offer real solutions for your family including:

• Customizable filtering levels for each computer user
• Categories to allow or restrict access to gambling, porn, R-rated, etc. websites
• Instant Messaging and Chat room monitoring
• Detailed reporting showing when the Internet was accessed, sites that were visited, and sites that were blocked
• Time of Day feature to control Internet activities for specific times of the day

We as parents have the privilege of helping to create a safe, loving environment for our children. Take an active role in your child’s life and become aware and involved in providing safety in their online and offline lives.
