Parents need advice on how to place controls over their kids' access to adult websites and to protect them from the bad influences and the criminal elements thriving on the net.This is an easy-to-follow, often humorous book that trains parents not only to beware of the dangers on the Internet but also how to gain control of their child's access to Web sites, chat rooms, homepages, e-mail, and more.

Filled with tips and techniques to help parents monitor their kids' online activities, this is the best and most accessible guide to safe surfing in cyberspace.
