Cyber Securuity Industry Alliance: This article comes at just the right time for me. My son is going to be getting his own PC for his birthday/Christmas present this year and while I'm aware of certain precautions to take, this opened my eyes up even further. I plan to take a look at some of the sites mentioned in the article to prepare myself and my son for when he has his own PC to be responsible for. I have taught my son the basics of being careful on the computer, but I think I can learn so much more from these websites that I may not be aware of. As it is, my son knows that he cannot download music, and if he is interested in something he has to run it by me first and get my permission. If I decide it's not something I want, I explain why I don't want him to download it and the problems it could cause. He is aware of the problems that can come from doing this and we have talked about the ethical issues associated with this situation. The only emails he is allowed to receive are from his brothers. If he wants to accept others he must run it by me first. I used to have his account set up where only certain addresses were allowed to come through, but then I ran into problems with that and couldn't figure out how to fix it so I opened a new account for him without the parental controls. Don't like this, but why do they have to make it so complicated to find the info you need in order to correct something? He knows I check the computer regularly for sites that have been visited, but he's very good about complying to the rules. I do limit his time on the computer and frequently come in to see what he's up to. Mostly he likes to play one game and isn't easily distracted away from it. I do think that this type of education should be included at school when they are in their computer classes. Maybe it is on some level and I'm just not aware, which makes me think I should ask how much education the students are receiving on these issues. The bottom line is that it is the parents responsibility to teach these lessons to their children and monitor what they do on the home computer.
