It's a dangerous world - protect your children online

In this age of computers we have all come to be aware of the dangers of someone else finding out what our passwords that we use online are. Is there a time when it might be all right for someone to know that? Could a case be made for a software that tracks a site such as MySpace, providing information on myspace login and password information?

What would you think of a program that is designed to watch what someone does on MySpace? A program that can tell you about when someone has updated their profile, posted pictures, or made comments about others on the site? Would it be invasion to know when messages were sent to other users, when friends were invited or accepted? Would it be invading privacy to know if someone has more than one MySpace account?

I'm guessing that if you are familiar with the MySpace website, and are the parent of a child that uses a computer, then you would be shaking your head that it's not invading privacy when it comes to your child's safety.

There are predators out there. Men, and even women from what I have heard, although the women seem to be in a vast minority, that access the Internet and use sites like MySpace and regional chat rooms to connect with minors for purposes that curdle the stomach of any decent adult.

There are also programs such as the Spector Pro monitoring software that watches over the use of MySpace and provides parents with a chance to monitor their children's interactions with others on the website. Giving parents a chance to spot the predators before they can lure their child into danger.
