IM Safer, monitoring without snooping
Ever hear of IMSafer? I just learned about it. I’m not a big fan of filters and snooping software, because I think most kids will just think of it as a challenge. But I do kind of like the spirit of this one.
Basically it monitors all IM’s from your children’s accounts and alerts you to any dangerous situations they might be getting themselves into. How does it do that? Basically it hunts for keywords in English, slang, l33t speak, and IM abbreviations. If it finds something that could be an issue, you’ll get an email with that portion of the conversation. You can then determine for yourself whether its something to be concerned about or not. It does not, I repeat DOES NOT give you a full transcript of everything your son or daughter says. Only the red flags.
I think that will be much more palettable to rebellious students than thinking that their parents are sneaking behind their backs and spying on them.
Pretty cool. Definitely one to keep bookmarked for parents that want to take an active role in keeping their children safe, without taking actions that might betray their trust.

Filters are not enough to safe guard your children. Today’s kids are more clever than us when it comes to computers. For me better guidance, close monitoring and love are the essential tools to protect them from harmful element on the internet.
