Protecting ALL Children

Man-O-Manischewitz! I don't know how I got here ... but I'm seeing the WWW as a feeding ground for predators. I've had a computer for 12, maybe 15 years ... AND NOT ONCE (well, once) have I seen anything torrid, pornographic or illegal. I guess it's all in how you USE the computer /how you search /and being consistent in your searches.

THAT BEING SAID: All of our Grand - kids are home schooled via the Internet and it seems to work very well for them through a "network" of home-school'ers and the sharing of curriculum's, etc. I never thought twice about it. The G-kids are Gamers, Twitters and I-Touch Users! Clever kids! Only the oldest three, Christian, who is 12, Alexa, who just turned 11, Ashlee, my D-girl, who is 7 love being online. Cameron, who is five, doesn't seem to be wacky about anything other than TRANSFORMERS! THEN THE BIEBERFACATION STARTED AND I FOUND THAT PEOPLE WERE ENTICING BIEBER FANS TO "COME CHAT WITH ME ABOUT JUSTIN" via TWITTER.... luring into lude, nude & crude chat-rooms ...B:L:U:K. Makes me wanna throw up! My Alexa is only 11 ... and I got the link from her TWITTER. It scared me to death!

To make things worse, they had a 10 minute "Special" on our local news last night about tweens & teens sextexting (?) and THEN BLACKMAILING the "victim" (who was dumb enough to play the game) into all sorts of things. From SEX to HOMEWORK! Here in our little town! (and across the country)

Amy, our D-Mom, has STOPPED all Internet use until this can be figured out. She not computer literate, she thinks its a waste of time ....other than doing school work!

ANYONE know what software polices this stuff?
