What Can You Do? As a parent, model proper behavior for your kids and instruct them in how they should behave.
Let them know when they're allowed to use the computer and where they're allowed to go on the Internet.
Tell them you want to know right away if anyone mistreats or insults them. It's only common sense.
Additionally you can use parental Control.
Types of Parental Control Hardware Based Protection:
This solution can apply Web content filtering and Internet time scheduling to all the household's Internet-aware devices.
However, it can't offer the detailed level of control and monitoring that a software solution can, and per-user configuration is also difficult.
Types of Parental Control Traditional Parental Control:
This simple utility prevents access to inappropriate website. Parents can decide which websites are inappropriate.
It allows to limit the amount of time spent online, set a schedule for what time of day Internet use is permitted, or both.
Good Parental Control software should be full-proof against hacking, so a clever teen can't disable it.
Types of Parental Control Mobile Parental Control:
These apps can give parents a higher level of control and monitoring than obtained by filtering at the router level.
Geo-location based apps can alert parents if the child leaves designated safety zones.
Some apps have the ability to block texting while driving.
Have the PC kept in the living room.
Set some ground rules – What sites they can visit, who they can talk to, and how much time they can spend online.
Research before you buy – understand what technology you are bringing home.
Don’t just sit there – REPORT! – to the website, cell phone service, law enforcement.
Talk to your kids; they’re not as mysterious as you think – get involved so you’re not the last to know.
Challenge them to a duel – When you respect their interests, they’re more likely to respect your rules.
Don’t pull the plug – taking away their Internet access because they’ve done something wrong doesn’t solve the problem.
Supervise Internet use – if you can see what your kids are doing they are less likely to get into trouble.
Safeguards = Safe Kids – Technology cannot replace your time and attention as a parent or guardian.
Don’t go overboard – while it is smart to keep an eye, it’s not cool to post embarrassing messages or pictures to their page.
Decide on what kind of controls to enable and have a mix of parental controls to ensure your kid’s safety.
