Honestly though, I think that the computer should be in a shared space, and when it comes to privacy online, there is none. I wouldn't do anything like read my child's diary or any of the such, but when it comes to the internet they will have no privacy. There's way too many freaks and weirdos out there that children just don't understand. Kids are way too eager to put out personal information, and too often think that everyone is who they advertise to be online.
There's a ton of great software out there to help protect children from online dangers. I personally suggest Net Nanny or Cyber Patrol. But, having the computer in a shared space is a major deterant. |
I couldn't agree with this post more.
Children are posting things on the internet for millions of strangers to see, but want privacy from their parents? yeah... right.
When they're older, I'll stick a filter on the computer.
Of course that said, I have two myspaces. One for family and one for friends. Incase I get drunk and decide to post pics of my tush or something.
It could happen.
My girls could never be a dumb as Mommy.
