I have 2 devices in my house, one is used for my work, and the other mac laptop is in my children’s room. Taking into account their online safety, I think parental control is necessary. At last, I got a trial of one type of mac keylogger. It can record all keystrokes typed on any application and capture the desktop screenshots, then secretly send the logs to my email. So checking emails becomes a routine.

It was a normal day. After I finish the task, I opened my email and checked the new information as usual. It was an email from the Mac parental control software. The email showed clearly the websites visited, chatting messages and netgame screenshots. When I read the message of my 12-year-old girl, I smelled something. She was talking with a guy every late night during the past November. Am I too paranoid? I love my children and I would like to take any measure to protect them. I must be clear about the overall situation. But I was in the trial period and only 3 days left. After so nice a trial experience, I bought the keylogger service without hesitation, so I could get continued emails from the software.

However, it never rains but it pours. The next day, a thief came when we were out. Loss was huge including 2 computers, one digital camera and bucks. I called the police, and they brushed me off. Obviously they had handled so many such cases. In these days, home burglary is on the rise. As to the thief, there was no clue. I never expect that I can get back my stolen computer one day.

Two days after the burglary case,  my office computer hinted me getting a new email when I was bargaining with my client. The data in the email really astonished me! A guy swanked his big affair and loot to another. It was the thief! He must be using the computer which I had installed parental control software that sent his information without his knowing.  I consulted the software manufacture, asking about if I could receive the logged keys and screenshots by email as before, thanks god  they replied me timely that I could start receiving the emails with the screenshoots and logged keys again without having my computer back if the computer is connected to Internet. In the next days, I received some emails uninterruptedly, then I handed over this evidence to the police. The anxiously waiting days were so long, but the burglars eventually get caught and arrested. I got back of my property.

That’s all the surprised accident, I must appreciate the software after service and their sound quality products. Owning to them, I can  minimize my loss as well as catch the criminal. However, it’s not the end. Kids online safety still bother me. I need to rely on the parental control software for helping  me keep an eye on my children .

I’m telling you this story, maybe it makes you a sense of keylogger. If yours is PC, installing a remote spy software could be beneficial some day.

Aobo Website Blocker FAQS

Webwatcher has all the features that are available. Keystroke logging,record instant message and chats,record incoming and outgoing emails and many other features. Completely invisible so your kids or spouse will not know.

  

Do you know the sites your children are visiting when they are on the Internet? Do you know who your kids are chatting with? You don’t have to be a computer expert to keep your child safe online but you do need to know a little bit.

One of the biggest challenges we as parents face is that an entire generation of children are living life in an online world that we as parents have very little experience.Over the past couple of years a number of lurking dangers have come to the forefront to leave our children unprotected of online exploitation.

What are the dangers?

The list might be longer than this but through my research I see four main dangers:

1. Sexual Predators
The whole concept of the Internet is the anonymity of the user which has not only made it a playground for sexual predators but also changed the face of sexual predators.If you haven’t had a chance to see the Dateline NBC show to catch a predator or read your local newspapers the sexual predator is longer the weirdo in the green van across from the park. he is now the doctor,the stockbroker,the school teacher etc.In other words they are smart educated people who know our children’s insecurities and build trust with them and make them feel good about themselves so your child will not tell you the parent. So alot of times children become willing victims.

2. Pornography
Some of the most popular sites on the Internet are porn sites.Pornography has become increasingly acceptable and accessible.This is not the kids stealing dad’s playboy magazine.Today any kid can view anything from adult pornography to graphic videos,online chats,live nude peep shows,virtual sex parties or even porn that is illegal and can be prosecuted for viewing.

Home Internet Safety Contact Comparisons Blog

3. Posting Inappropriate Content
This one is becoming more and more popular.amongst kids. Children become inhibited because of the anonymity. of the Internet and do stuff and post things that are inappropriate.Kids take pictures of private parts and post and do other ridiculous things that they don’t realize the Internet is forever this doesn’t go away when you go for job interviews, or want to have your own kids.

4. "Cyberbulling"
It’s when a child, preteen or teen is tormented, threatened, harassed, humiliated, embarrassed or otherwise targeted by another child, preteen or teen using the Internet, interactive and digital technologies or mobile phones.

What do We Do To make Sure The Internet Is Being Used For The Good That It was Intended?

The single most important thing to do is communicate with your child. If you are not communicating with them someone else is. Work alongside them on the Internet let them show you what they are doing. Ask them who they are chatting with.Build a strong trusting relationship.You do not need to become a computer expert but you do need to know some.Join a kids chat room learn what they are talking about and what they are doing.Know what your kids are doing online and who there online friends are.Make sure they understand to never make a face to face meeting with someone they met online people aren’ always who they say they are. Establish online rules and get monitoring software and randomly monitor the sites they are visiting and there chats.

How Mac OS X Mail Parental Controls Work

If your child is still too small to fully trust its decisions (and you know that others can be trusted even less), it may be best to restrict the circle of people they can communicate with. Using the Mac OS X Parental Controls, you can specify the email addresses safe for a user to exchange mail with in Mac OS X Mail.

When somebody not on the save list tries to mail the user, you will see the message first and can choose to allow the sender or continue to restrict them. When the controlled user tries to mail somebody new, you first have to give your approval as well.

To control email use with Mac OS X Mail Parental Controls:

• Select System Preferences… from the Apple menu.
• Go to the Accounts category.
• Highlight the desired account.
  • If the accounts are dimmed, click the lock icon and type an administrator’s name and password.
• Go to the Parental Controls tab.
• Make sure Mail is checked.
• Use the + button to add email addresses to the list of trusted correspondents.
• Make sure Send permission emails to: is checked.
• Type your email address.
  • You need to be able to receive these emails in Mac OS X Mail yourself to approve senders directly.

Be aware that a thus parentally controlled user can use a different program to send and receive emails without any restrictions.

Step by Step Tutorial

To moderate what your children are exposed to, Apple has setup some new Parental Control features in OS X. While they aren’t the most robust, they do the job, if configured properly. Here is how to setup parental controls for email.
Note: Your child must have their own account in OS X, or you can’t set these up.

Open ‘System Preferences‘. ‘Apple menu -> System Preferences‘.
Choose ‘Accounts‘

Now, if the ‘padlock‘ is locked, click on it and ‘authenticate‘. This will allow you to make changes.

Next, select your child’s account. It will be one of three types. Either Admin, Standard, or Managed. If it is already managed, great.. you already have some parental control setup. If it’s Standard or Admin, we need to change it. Note: As soon as you enable any of these parental controls, the account goes from a ‘Standard‘ to a ‘Managed‘ account.

Be sure that ‘Allow User To Administer this computer‘ is not enabled.
Next, click on the ‘Parental Controls‘ Tab.

Enable the ‘Mail‘ parental control. This will bring up a new window. This is where you are going to enter any email addresses you want the child to be able to send email to, or receive email from.

After you have added the email addresses, add a check mark next to ‘Send Permission Emails To:’
In this box, enter YOUR email address. If anyone tries to send your child an email or they want to send one to someone not on the list you just defined, you will get an email in your account asking for permission. Very handy, and it keeps bad spam from your kids eyes.
