All parents have the responsibility of giving their children a good education, clothing, a roof over their heads and anything else that they may need. Unfortunately this is not enough since they also need to get guidance on how to behave. The Internet has grown rapidly and many parents are now concerned with their kids' safety on the Internet. There have been some steps that have been taken to make sure they are well protected against the vices found on the Internet but more still needs to be done.

Pornographic contents such as videos, pictures and text have been a great concern on the internet for many years now. Some extreme situation have come u with the introduction of instant messaging and chat rooms. Sit has been noted that some adults are posing as children who are chatting with unsuspecting minors with other organizing for secret meetings. Even though some websites have introduced checkpoints where such scenarios can be identified, a large number of them have failed in playing it off.
There are sites that have explicit graphics which children have access to. Not all of them have warning messages on the homepage to let the user know the kind of site they are getting into. The biggest problem is that there is no restriction when you access the site therefore even children can view them. Another problem parents face is Spam emails that have erotic pictures, videos or information.
There is no particular technology that can be used to guide children from such things therefore you need to have Internet safety rules for kids. Make sure you let your children know that they should not reveal their personal information on the Internet. This includes information such as real names, location, school, phone numbers and other private information. You should also advise your child that they should not meet a person they knew from the Internet without your consent and presence.
Limit the amount of time that your children spend on the Internet. This is because the more time they spend online the more they are likely to be exposed to unsafe content. Use software that will filter explicit sites to ensure child safety on Internet.
