Tips to Keep Your Children and Teens Safer When Using Social Networking Sites
Discuss the dangers and future repercussions with your child.
Enter into a safe-computing contract with your child about his or her use of these sites and computer use in general.
Enable computer Internet filtering features if they are available from your Internet service.
Install monitoring software or keystroke capture devices on your family computer that will help monitor your child's Internet activity.*
Know each of your child's passwords, screennames, and all account information.

Put the computer in a family area of the household and do not permit private usage.
Monitor what your child's friends are posting regarding your child's identity. Often children and their friends have accounts linked to one another, so it's not just your child's profile and information you need to worry about.
Know what other access your child has to computers and devices like cell phones and PDAs.
Remember that every day is Halloween on the Internet. People on the Internet are not always who they appear to be.

Tracking down your child By Clare Murphy
BBC News Online The careless motorist, the paedophile and the drug pusher are the spectres which haunt modern day parents.
It gave me peace of mind and made me feel closer to him. It made me feel more involved with what he was doing Linda Toledo Mother In North America, technology has successfully been harnessed to enable anxious parents to follow the moves of their offspring, using satellite positioning systems which children can carry within watches or backpacks. "Peace of mind" is the marketing cry of the manufacturers.
Now Finland, the home of the mobile phone, is considering legislation that would allow parents to track the moves of their children on an internet page at home, using a system which locates their child's phone.
