Parents Hope To Keep Kids Safe Online

  • Print

Anthony Stancl's arrest has a lot of parents worried about what their kids may be up to online.

Technology and Computer Consultant Jeff Biskowitz says kids can get in a lot of trouble with an Internet connection.

"When they're sending text messages, instant messaging and things like that all of this information that's put out there is there to stay and can be captured and saved by someone else and come back to haunt them years later," said Biskowitz.

Biskowitz suggests installing filtering software on the computer to keep kids away from certain sites.

He advocates keeping an eye on what children are doing online.

"Having a computer in a central spot in the living room of the house, in the home office, in the basement, somewhere where parents can keep an eye on what's happening is the first step."
