Cyber Bullying Prevention
It is all over our news -- kids everywhere are being Cyber Bullied.
This is becoming such a pressing issue that our state government is proposing legislation requiring our schools to educate our children, grades 3 and up, on how to stay safe on the internet.
It will be awhile before these programs start in our schools.
If you are a devoted parent who is ready to learn how to keep our kids safe in cyberspace now, then I invite you to read on...
Do you want to know how to teach your children now to make wise decisions about using the internet?
Would you like to help them understand that just because we do not have a direct personal connection when communicating via cyberspace, that the ability to impact people is just as profound?
We simply see many people say things to each other in cyberspace that they would not say face to face.

Software Solutions are Band-Aid Solutions
Did you know that even if you put internet safety features on your own home computer, your children are still at risk to be cyberbullied, when they use other people's computers who do not have these protective mechanisms?
There are a number of software programs to monitor your kids' Internet usage. These limit the amount of time they can be on the computer and limits the websites they can visit. Remember, this is a very limited solution as your kids can easily get on the computer at the neighbor's house, the library, their school or
anyplace where there is limited monitoring of Internet usage or no controls on text messaging.
------Prevention Suggestions For Technology
-- Add monitoring software
-- Set software controls to limit access
-- Filtering
-- Add kid-safe web browsers
Filtering software can be bypassed just do an search for bypassing xxxx there are sites that will tell you how to deactivate the software
If you must use a software filter use K9
This a free software that is difficult to turn off
The best form of prevention, however, is for us to educate and inform our kids.
