However, this problem can be solved by simply buying your child his own computer or adding additional users and password protection for the administrator. If sensitive information exists on the computer, would not the sensitive information also exist within the house in hard-copy? I understand the concern to protect your livelihood from potential viruses and hackers that might allow access to such things. However, if you are worried your child might influence such events to form then his own computer would be a simple way to handle the issue. Coben’s second argument revolved around the need for Spyware above other types of monitors such as “parental blocks” for internet surfing

Unit Reference: Y/601/1695 Recording of Evidence: Unit Level 3 /Unit credit value 3 / Unit Reference: Y/601/1695Unit Title: Understand how to safeguard the well being of children and young people. (7.2) Describe the ways of reducing risk to children and young people from: * Social networking * Internet * Buying online * Using a mobile Ways of reducing the risk to children and young people from using, social networking sites, we need to have more heightened public, awareness also private, advice given via the CEOP organisation, of the dangers. Children can sometimes be unaware of this controversial area. They need to be taught not to give out personal info such as telephone numbers as well as their emails addresses, as their information can be pieced together to make a fuller profile of themselves, which can be used against them, to gain their trust and confidence to be possibly be groomed or even worse taken (snatched) .
- Monitor which social media sites they use and take an active interest in which sites they are using and keep and keep abreast of changing or new social media sites. CYP3.3 Assessment Criterion 7.2 Internet use; - Monitor children’s online activity blocking sites that are inappropriate or filtering out sexual images. - Limit the amount of time that the child spends online.

• An explanation of the risks and possible consequences for children and young people of being online and using mobile phone Most children and young people have access to the internet and the use of a mobile phone. Both offer benefit to children but equally can expose them to threats to their safety and well-being. Children and young people are open to many risks while being online or using their mobile phones, the possible risks and consequences are: • They may be lured into giving personal information; name, age, address and telephone numbers which could be used for identity theft or fraud. • Cyber bullying; this may include sending unpleasant texts, emails or instant messaging. A child or young person may find cruel messages or pictures about themselves and having their username stolen to spread lies or rumours about someone else.
For children who have mobile phones parents can put a blocker on the phone which can only let them access certain websites or block certain numbers ringing them or the child ringing certain numbers. Schools may offer information about the risks and what can happen. Video Games • Abuse • Copying the violence they see • More open to grooming • Poor social skills The ways we can reduce these risks are to restrict access to certain games and maybe putting a higher age certificate on them. We can improve their knowledge on E-Safety and advise them how to be safe online and less vulnerable. We can inform them on strategies to resilience.
What is meant by the term e-safety? Nowadays children and young people have different access to the internet like mobile phone, console and computer etc. E-safety is about staying safe on the internet, protect children staying out of trouble in places like chat room and social network site and also not download harmful or inappropriate material on the internet. What is meant by the term cyber bullying? Cyber bullying is someone used electronic communication networks like text message and E-mail send messages treat another people to embarrass and hurt their feeling.
It is meant to be a guide for adults so it would make sense it would be this way . The writer of the leaflet solidifies this by adding relevant statistics and ensamples to describe what is currently happening to social networking sites and what dangers it could hold for the youth of today. The leaflet also goes further on and describes how to safeguard oneself and how to protect ones children from things such as “cyber bullying, contact by adults with a sexual interest in children and the misuse of personal information” whilst using social networks. This in particular is bold so that if a reader like an adult were to pick this up and flick through it they would notice this and perhaps be more inclined to read on. On the other hand the “Collegian” although giving off the impression that it may be more official with its color scheme and layout it is in fact just personal opinions of one “Haley Henry”.
Tevin Hutchinson 11/10/2012 English 102 Technology plays a huge role in our everyday life. I do believe that technology has made our lives easier, but it also has made us more dependent on the technology itself. When using the internet for a dictionary you could easily get distracted. Anyone can put anything on the internet, so what you find might not be accurate. Most people find that looking things up on the internet is distracting because you are already on the web so why not check YouTube for a funny video, or update your status on the social network.
Although, many people think that it is necessary for the school teachers to carry guns on campus for the reason that they can protect children with guns. Personally, I do not think school teacher should be trained and required to carry guns on campus. Training teachers and requiring them to carry guns is a way that obey the spirit of school, it also has influence on children, teachers themselves and schools. (http://www.schoolsecurity.org/trends/arming_teachers.html) School teachers should not be trained and carry guns on campus because it is disobey the traditional spirit of school. When people think of school, a safe environment for students to learn comes to mind.
Internet access is a privilege, not a right. Users should not expect that files or messages stored on school computers be private. Any violation of this AUP may result in loss of school-provided Internet access. Additional disciplinary may be taken in accordance with the school's discipline policy.
