One of the hardest jobs in the world is to be a parent. Add to that the consistently changing technology that inundates our kids and the task can feel daunting.
Internet safety for kids and youth is a must in our quest to protect our kids. Just as we would do everything in our power to protect our children from an intruder in our home, we must engage in the safety of our kids from the intruders through technical devices.
It is no longer “if” my child will be exposed to sexual images, it is “when” will they be exposed.”
With the statistics of pornography addiction rapidly rising and internet predators remaining a constant threat, it is a necessity that we be proactive in safeguarding our children from unwanted sexual exposure.
