William Bertel (Edison) - Protect Your Children from Online Predators

Too often do I hear a story on the news about someone that was abducted from their house or neighborhood. The internet is a vast, dangerous place that has made it much easier for sexual predators to find and abduct children and young teenagers from their homes. With social networking sites such as Myspace and Facebook, it has become all too easy. Older parents seem oblivious to the dangers to the internet. They need to become aware not only of the dangers, but of the several solutions to protecting your children. It starts with becoming aware of your child’s online activities. Know who they are talking to. Know what websites they are logging on to. Know what information they are putting on to their online profiles. It is important to talk to your child about the dangers of putting too much information onto an online profile, such as a last name or address. All of these solutions aren’t too hard or time consuming, but they can do a whole lot to prevent yet another awful tragedy.
