Rochester Institute of Technology just released these statistics in a study completed in June of 2008:

-90 percent of parents surveyed indicated that there is an adult present to supervise home computer activities of their children.

-However, only 34 percent of 7-9th graders reported using the Internet with supervision.

-42 percent of 7-9th graders reported using the Internet to talk to a stranger at least once within the last year.

-While 15 percent said they were embarrassed by someone on the Internet and 13 percent said they were threatened by someone on the Internet. 

SeeNoEvil software allows you peace of mind that your child will not become an Internet statistics. 

We at SeeNoEvil are proud to say SeeNoEvil works because you can easily decide what sites, even what images are acceptable to you and your child, SeeNoEvil allows you to control what content is viewed online by your family. 

In case you missed our April newsletter on cyberbullying, we thought we would offer a recap on protecting your children from virtual abuse.

Virtual Abuse, also called cyber bullying, occurs when a person is bullied, harassed, humiliated, threatened, embarrassed, or targeted in some way by another person through use of the internet. 

SeeNoEvil recommends the following steps to help protect your children from virtual abuse.  SeeNoEvil has developed a list to help keep your child safe from virtual abuse, including a list of ways to use SeeNoEvil to prevent or watch for virtual abuse.     

1.        Talk to you children openly about the dangers of the Internet. Discuss appropriate and non-appropriate behaviors for the Internet.  Then you and your child can create a list of things that are OK to do on the Internet and things that are not OK.   Brainstorm and develop a list of Internet rules and post them by the computer.  

2.       Develop a procedure for what your child should do if he or she receives information that makes them uncomfortable.   Perhaps, beneath the list of Internet rules you can post a list of produces to follow if inappropriate material is encountered: “what to do if I read or see something that makes me uncomfortable.”  Make sure your child understands that anything he or she receives that makes them uncomfortable it is not their fault. 

3.       Talk to your child about what to do if they are contacted by a stranger through the Internet.  Make sure your child understands that being contacted by a stranger through the Internet is no different than a stranger contacting them at the mall or park.  Develop a list of producers on what to do if a stranger initiates conversation via the Internet.          

SeeNoEvil recommends the following settings for your SeeNoEvil software to help prevent and monitor for virtual abuse.

1.       Set time controls.  It is recommended your child only be on the Internet while a parent is home and awake.  To disable use of the computer while you are at work or sleeping, use See No Evil to set limits and restrictions.   Open the SeeNoEvil control panel.  Double click on the user whose time wish to edit, click on the Internet Time Restrictions Tab to choose the times the user is not allowed Internet access or click on the Computer Time Restrictions to choose the times the user is not allowed on the computer.

2.       Monitor what your child is doing on the computer by taking screen shots of his or her computer session.  Open the SeeNoEvil control panel.  Double click on the user you wish to monitor.  Click on the Monitor button at the bottom left of the SeeNoEvil window, click on the Screen Monitor tab.  Click in the box to capture screen shots of the user’s desktop.  Decide how often you want images captured and how many images you want stored at a time.  Be sure to check your child’s stored images often.

3.       Monitor what your child is communicating on the computer by monitoring their key strokes.  Open the SeeNoEvil control panel.  Double click on the user you wish to monitor.  Click on the Monitor button at the bottom left for the SeeNoEvil window, click on the Keyboard Monitor tab.  Click in the box to keep a log of the users key strokes.  Be sure to check your child’s key stroke records often.
