I need to learn more about all this stuff. So far I haven't even allowed her an email address, but she's a bright kid and could set up her own I'm sure. Thanks for the heads up. I really need to get it sorted.Jo Beaufoixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957369658590225971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028087689359453320.post-23805702970506477042009-06-25T18:41:38.584+01:002009-06-25T18:41:38.584+01:00Well said.

It's amazing how naiive some parents are, they even allow their children to have PCs with webcams in their bedrooms! Internet safety is as much about educating parents as children.Working Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16243697047355131343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028087689359453320.post-13730807434400602352009-06-25T17:30:00.756+01:002009-06-25T17:30:00.756+01:00I would add "Don't think your child won&#...I would add "Don't think your child won't". Adolescents, especially boys, will at some point type in "boobs" etc and get to some very nasty web sites very quickly.<br />The problem with a lot of the parental controls is that they don't allow the kids to do searches for their homework. You have to manually allow them to go onto a site then stand over them while they find whatever it is.<br />But it's worth it.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028087689359453320.post-12732275711147675232009-06-25T16:58:00.544+01:002009-06-25T16:58:00.544+01:00Hi Lindsay, nice to see you and of course you'...Hi Lindsay, nice to see you and of course you're quite right.<br /><br />Tattie...get on it, one blink and they'll be down the pub!<br /><br />Dulwich Mum do look out, you trod in a...never mind, it's terribly organic.Frog in the Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990222544828204911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028087689359453320.post-1850148862171087312009-06-24T22:34:19.699+01:002009-06-24T22:34:19.699+01:00WOW the things I am going to have to get my head r...WOW the things I am going to have to get my head round.

I have one set of grandchildren in London who spend their time sat in front of a computer screen and can no more hold a decent conversation. the other set of grandchildren live in rural Devon and do not possess a computer at all but live a lovely uncluttered life meeting their friends in the village and surrounds.Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05596425511240774220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028087689359453320.post-48495338034119035682009-06-24T13:15:12.407+01:002009-06-24T13:15:12.407+01:00Thank you Potty...I am a terribly good influence y...Thank you Potty...I am a terribly good influence you know!Frog in the Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990222544828204911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4028087689359453320.post-65014898632335254682009-06-24T13:13:33.942+01:002009-06-24T13:13:33.942+01:00Great and informative post Frog.
