Cyber-Bullies Cyber-stalkers aren't the only lowlifes running around the Web.
Cyber-bullies are in abundance too. These online "thugs" may follow your child from site to site or chat room to chat room with harassing and threatening behavior. They might even invade your child's IM tools and email accounts. A good
parental control software will monitor and record this behavior, and some can even notify parents when an alert is triggered by the child.
Time Online The better
parental control software packages will not only monitor your child's online activities and protect them from harm, but can restrict their activities on the Web too. Research and Comparison companies rate Net Nanny highly for such features. You can designate which sites your child can and can not visit and you can also limit the amount of time your children spend online. If it's not for homework purposes, experts recommend limiting online time to one to two hours per day.
