SOMEWHERE ELUSIVE........AND HOT!!!

I was just watching an episode of dr phil showing an under age girl that had given directions to her home to a man she was talking to on a site.

Thank god it was a set up her dad knew about.

Very scarey stuff.

Do we know what our kids are doing online?

I found out that one of my kids friends (they are 8) had been making them watch Chucky and that slenderman thing on YouTube while he's been playing in her house. I am fuming. He has been clingy and sick the past week. My fault for not checking with the mother before I let him go that they wouldn't be allowed to do anything inappropriate but i still tore her a new one. I monitor everything they do at home and I can't believe she was that thick that she didn't.

I ve a rule

When friends come in ALL wifi techno gadgets are left on kitchen counter

And if they go into others it's the same

It's a different world we live in compared to our time.

Parents need to learn the following things:

How to change router passwords.

How to block certain devices from connecting to your WiFi via Mac addresses

How to block certain websites with filters.

On top of that you have to monitor what sites they do visit.

Also...install mobile security and anti theft apps on their devices. Cerberus is a good one for android.

Once you've done all this you're in a good position of power over your kids...you can control what they see, and if they misbehave you can cut them off completely while still being able to get online yourself.

You still have no control over what they see/access via friends.

Control the controlables. How their friends behave or are raised is not something you can worry about. True, your child can suffer consequences of someone else's band parenting, but unless you forbid them to have friends there's nothing you can do.

In our day didn't we all have one friend who found a porno mag or vhs?

I'm simply making the point that it's not enough to assume that because you control access at home or on their devices, you can just pretend they will never be exposed to anything, and that you should talk about what they are likely to see and hear, and warn them of the dangers of befriending people online who may not be what they claim. It's not just a question of what your kids have access to, it's who has access to them.

This.

The first thing kids do when entering a friend's house is ask for the WiFi password.

I've seen them outside friends houses (standing at the garden gate) connecting to the WiFi where the password hasn't been changed from the previous visit.

Impossible to block the web. All you can do is make sure your WiFi isn't the gateway.

But they'll find a way...
