SupportThe facts
Children find it difficult to understand the risks and consequences of computer and internet use. This often means they are unable to recognise misuse and risks. With YourSafetynet you can be sure your children are safe while using the computer.
Unwelcome computer use
Research undertaken by Rutgers Nisso Group¹ shows that as many as 57% of girls and 40% of boys in secondary education are confronted with cyber sex. Leaving cyber bullying, gambling and gaming addiction and misuse out of the equation, half of all children have therefore already undergone negative experiences whilst using the internet connected computer.
This highlights the increased risk children are exposed to while using the computer and internet. Many parents are aware of this and as a result literally place the computer in a public place in the home to insure that the computer is always used with monitoring and supervision nearby.
Peace of mind
However, direct parental supervision can often be a source of controversy and discord within the family. Installing YourSafetynet on your home network removes the potential for conflict that often occurs with direct parental intervention, and allows your children to have some degree of privacy as they do their home work or experience sanctioned activities with their computer.
YourSafetynet home gives you the parent peace of mind that your children are protected, while at the same time providing you children and family with the rewarding, and educational experience that can come from access to the internet.
