As a mom I am big on prevention. "Brush your teeth," "wear your bicycle helmet" and "wash your hands before you eat" are phrases that, like you, I have uttered a million times. Americans in general believe in prevention as well. We get annual check-ups. We buy insurance to avoid huge financial losses from an accident or death. We change our oil every 3000 miles. Yet, when it comes to raising children in a s*xually graphic society, too many families fail to take even the most basic precautions to shield children from content that can damage them for years or even a lifetime.
 

Consider these numbers from a recent nationally representative poll conducted by GFI software:

• Only 36% of parents use Web monitoring software or a Web filter to keep tabs on their teens' activities online, and to block inappropriate content.
• Half of teens say they do not know whether or not their parents are monitoring their Internet browsing.
• 42% of teens have cleared their browsing history at some point after using the Internet, and 5% do it often.
• 24% of teens admit to visiting a Web site intended for adults. 31% of boys admit they've visited adult sites, and 13% say they do so "often" or "sometimes".

Many of us have heard stories of families in crisis because a son or daughter had gotten mixed up with online p*rnography. Almost all of these families thought such a thing could never happen to them. One of our goals with FAMILY SPARK is to provide parents the best research and resources to help guide their children through the s*xually charged culture. This month we are pleased to announce our affiliate relationship with InternetSafety.com.
