Why Use Spy Software? 29,000 Reasons and Counting.
Those of us with young children and teenagers are now aware of MySpace and similar social networking sites more than ever. Packed with cool interactive tools like music, profile comments, blog posting, photo and video sharing, and even more up-to-date features like status and mood posting, it is no surprise that kids everywhere are glued to their computers looking for their friends’ latest updates. This relatively new phenomenon has not only changed the way this generation interacts with one another, it has also changed who they are interacting with. According to Connecticut attorney general Richard Blumenthal there is an “exploding epidemic of sex offender profiles on MySpace - 29,000 and counting - (which) screams for action.” If this comes as a surprise to you please do not make a rash decision such as deleting your child’s MySpace or other social networking page. Odds are your child will quickly and easily create another social networking page without your knowledge.
The fact remains MySpace is not dangerous. The problem arises from the 29,000 corrupt people who log on it. As the number of Internet users grows, there will always be more and more dangerous people connecting to the web. Parents and guardians who want to protect their young ones are often unaware of the software solutions available. An application like SpyBuddy will monitor and verify whom their child is talking to, what is being typed, and will even alert parents if certain inappropriate material is being discussed. Because some critics are concerned with the moral implications of this type of software they will often compare the installation of computer monitoring and spy software software to an action such as reading your child’s diary or journal. This could not be more absurd or further from the truth. As clinical psychologist John M. Grohol, Psy.D. most accurately stated it is very important to communicate with your children and teenagers, and also “trust but verify” who they are communicating with.
