so i do have a different view point... and i think that the internet is a very cool place....in that, you can access data about anything, anywhere like one huge LIBRARY online... but thats where it ends.... because there is the dangerous side too.... that pediphile in san jose demonstrates the bad part
quite perfectly.... scumbags are using it to glean personal info and are trying to arrange personal meetings pretending to be someone else entirely
and they dont really care if it takes a full year to accomplish this mission.
if you stop the internet use completely she will just access it from somewhere else.... and go around your parental controls quite easily... so i think it would be better to give your daughter some specific instructions about not posting her real picture online and anything related to her real address, location ,area she lives in...
nothing...
thats the real truth to protect herself from those that want to staulk her. If you don't do that...she will eventually leave home and take those habits with her
and set herself up for a rendevue of real trouble.
open google and plug in your daughters real name or handle ...and see what pops up
and it will reveal -> websites with her internet name....if any...
theres a site called
www.F__Kmicrosoft.com (fill in the blanks) and in there you can learn to use DOS to look deep into hard drives even if the data was erased... aint gonna work with XP tho.... another method is to go on the NET and find some young guy's picture and or girls picture
of the appropriate age....and create a false identity for yourself to go in and
SPY .....even have direct conversations with your own daughter in disguise acting out a role as a teenager....from say ,,,oregon or california.
record every conversation and save them for the appropriate time....
so that your not being bluffed in the future... this isnt fair but the bad people aren't playing fair either.... maybe never let on that you did that
would be a great idea....as your trying not to have your child hate your guts in the process....better to enroll her in a martial arts class or teach other ways to safeguard her personal info or protect herself,,, than just pulling the plug as a solution is my point.
