Safe web surfing for kids – today’s problem

It's true that Internet is a resource of information essential for study, the easiest way to keep up in touch with friend and their activity, providing opportunities to improve your life, have some fun, enhance your education or pursue business interests. Children are often enthusiastic Internet users.

Online predators are the main problem that appears while children surf the Internet. The target for predators is approximately 77% children under 14.

Another reason why a parent should offer children protection on the web is because a child having fully access to any Internet resource can download or open inappropriate web sites, logging in chat conversation with strangers, or revealing private information about the place he lives.

Lots of children use the Internet to play games. On TV there are movies that are not recommended for a certain age category while on the Internet parents must be aware because it's more difficult to choose only the best for safe surfing.

Games also represent an attraction for children. But choose together with your child a less aggressive one, because these games have great impact and influence on your child. Their behavior can change, becoming more aggressive with you and with others, it can get irascible and isolating himself from the real world.

Protecting children on the web means also to protect your personal information. What I want to say is to watch over your child's shoulder and take a good care if you allow him to use your credit card for online shopping. This is a security problem concerning even you as an adult not talking about your children.

Most children who fall victims to online predators spend a lot of time online, particularly in chat rooms. Online predators attract the victims through the use of attention, affection, kindness, and even gifts. They will know very well which are the children's hobbies and interests and will be aware with the latest music. Some of them engage in inappropriate conversations with children immediately which might include harassment or irritation.

Statistics say that one in five U.S children who regularly log on to the Internet, have received an unwanted sexual solicitation via the Web. Solicitations were defined as requests to engage in improper activities and talk, or to give personal information.
More than that, only 25% of children told to a parent or adult about them experience. This numbers are frightening and increasing. It seems that the world is no longer safe and sure.

This is a difficult mission for a parent. Being a parent means responsibility, taking care of your child and in the most cases working a lot. Unfortunately, jobs take more time and you can't be all the time with an eye on your child.

It's very important to talk with your child about the online dangers and to advice him not to leave the public area of a chat room.
Online shopping should be made only in your presence and not before you assure that are a trusted company and a secure website.
Keep the computer in a common area of the house, or if you decide to put it in his bedroom, install a monitoring software to be aware of every step he makes on the web.

Try to find out if your child receives gifts, e-mails, photos or even phone calls from people you don't know.
Take action, protect your child!

I recently found a study about how Internet games affect children's life.
"According to DeGaetano and Bander [1996] violent video/Internet games send the following false messages to the players:

- Problems can be resolved quickly and with little personal investment.
- The best way to solve a problem is to eliminate the source of the problem.
- Problems are right or wrong, black or white.
- It is acceptable to immerse oneself in the video game's rule driven reality without questioning the rules.
- Use instinctual rather than thoughtful, responsible behaviors to react to problems.
- Personal imagination is not an important problem solving skill."

Reading further I found out that there are many ways children interact with the game. Some of them identify with the characters, boys getting more satisfied responding with aggression, while girls get frighten after playing violent games. Others confuse the reality with the game's world because they lack the real life experiences to judge whether something they see on screen is realistic. Personal fantasizing about the characters in a violent game increases the influence of the violent scenes upon children. What shocked me, was finding out that "the two shooters responsible for the Columbine tragedy in 1999 are a good example of the susceptibility of young people to violent portrayals in the electronic media. It is speculated that the two boys were imitating the characters they played on there home computers."
I guess I make up my point of view here. Your child's life it's in your hand, advice him wisely!
