Parental Content Control Resources
The internet is a wonderful tool, but because of its unmonitored unlimited accessibility, the potential for harm is immense. Your children are vulnerable to inaccurate, inappropriate information and predators.
Please, take the time to protect them so their use of the internet is a safe and enjoyable learning experience. Speak with them about their adventures; warn them about the risks. Utilize the many resources available to assist you in limiting their access to age appropriate materials.
