Joe noticed that his 16-year-old daughter was acting differently. “She had no desire to go to school in the morning, did not do her homework as she used to, and stopped going to the gym because she was always tired. When the family got together, or even when her friends asked her to go out and do something with them, she would rather stay home, alone.”
Joe and his wife were desperate to have SpectorSoft’s Spector Pro installed on their computers. The software records all keystrokes, chats, instant messages, e mails, Web site visits and programs that a child runs, so parents can track every step.
Joe was shocked to find out what his daughter was up to online. “Our girl had met a married 42-year-old man during a chatting session, and they were sending provocative pictures to each other,”He says. His daughter had also been visiting suicide and juvenile porn sites. She was also planning to get away from the man she’d met.
Joe and his spouse enrolled his daughter in counseling. Joe also contacted local authorities and the FBI about the online predator.
Pedophiles still use the Internet as a way to attack victims. Parents should monitor their children’s internet activity and talk with them about the dangers. According to the Crimes Against Children Research Center there are several online actions that could put teenagers and children at greater risk. These are:
– Posting personal info – Interacting online and with strangers
– Making nasty comments
– Sending personal data to people you don’t know in real life
– Downloading images via file-sharing programs
– Visiting pornography sites
– Cyberbullying
– Online sex discussion
A software program that monitors online behavior can be installed by parents if they are unable or unwilling to supervise their children. “I truly believe that we saved our daughter,”Joe.
