Child Safety & Internet Filtering

While legislators, judges, and advocacy groups debate the Child Online Protection Act, parents can help protect their children online. One of the most effective ways is to install blocking software on your computer. Take advantage of the parental control features that many services, such as AOL, offer to allow parents control of the sites that their children visit. Teach your children basic Internet safety tips such as checking with you before giving out personal -- or family -- information and to look for privacy policies when they enter a web site that asks for information about themselves.
