Action Alert Parental Control
While the internet is a great resource, dangers live around every corner. Sexual and financial predators, inappropriate content, and cyber bullying are just some of the threats lurking online. Default web site blocking options available in browsers and operating systems are not complete protection against the many dangers, and a majority of parents feel ill equipped to protect their children. Action Alert Parental Control software, in combination with an open dialogue about internet safety, ensures children are safe from these varying threats through a combination of web site blocking, monitoring, and real-time alerts.

Social Media
Social networking sites are becoming increasingly important in our lives, particularly for children and young adults. While initially these sites seem harmless, sexual predation, financial predation, cyber bullying, identity theft, and cyber harassment are only some of the dangers lurking on social networking sites. Teens and children also may accidentally “over share”, resulting in lost job or scholarship opportunities, or the attraction of a cyber-predator. Many parents believe simply ‘friending’ their children is enough to monitor for potential threats or inappropriate activities, but children can use privacy settings to allow parents to only see particular things. Using Action Alert, children can safely enjoy social networking sites with the supervision of an adult.

Inappropriate Content
Pornography is one of the most common types of content on the internet. It is so common that the chances of being accidentally exposed to it are high – most adults have accidentally stumbled across a pornographic link or image while using search engines at work and children are no different. Even if the home computer is located in a common area of the house, children can access pornography while parents are working or otherwise engaged. With Action Alert, pornography is automatically blocked, along with other minor-inappropriate content such as gambling sites. With Action Alert Parental Control Software, parents can be warned with a text message or email if their child searches for particular terms, such as ‘porn’. When the alert comes in, if the parent feels the child is trying to access inappropriate content, they can shut down the internet from wherever they are. Parents with Action Alert can feel secure that their children will not be exposed to pornography, either accidentally or purposefully.

Cyber Bullying
Cyber Bullying is defined as a child being harassed, threatened, insulted and otherwise tormented by another child online. 42% of children are cyber bullied, and 58% of children do not tell their parents when they are cyber bullied. Vicious, embarrassing, and hurtful messages from an anonymous attacker can be incredibly damaging to children, and in extreme cases can lead to murder or suicide. Despite the prevalence and seriousness of this danger, many parents are unaware of the situation until the problem has spiraled out of control.

With Action Alert Parental Control Software’s monitoring and real time alerts, parents are aware of cyber bullying as soon as it starts. Parents can help guide their children through the situation, and ensure the bullying does not lead to depression, retaliation, or more adverse effects. Additionally, if the situation is dire enough to warrant police involvement (in cases of threats, extortion, continued harassment, or if an adult joins in on the bullying, which is legally cyber harassment), the video records kept by Action Alert serve as reliable evidence to end the cyber bullying, and ensure the perpetrators are brought to justice.

Real Time Alerts
Internet safety experts recommend parents be constantly monitoring their children while online. Unfortunately, that simply isn’t possible with the hectic schedules of most parents. Action Alert allows parents to be constantly monitoring their children in real time with instant alerts via text message or email. Simply set up key words children should not be typing into the computer, such as private information (phone number, address, last name, etc.) or inappropriate content (pornography, gambling, etc.) or any other keywords. If that keyword is typed into the computer, parents receive both an email and text message alerting them to what is transpiring. Instantly, parents are aware of the situation and can shut down the computer from wherever they are. No other product available gives parents the ability to monitor their children’s internet activities while keeping up with their hectic schedules.
