SafetyNet Step 1:
Guard the Mind, Then the Computer
Even if you are 100% successful in keeping inappropriate online
material out of your home, you must do more. SafetyNet tools and techniques move your
children further away from temptation and trouble -- but they do not remove the actual
source problems. Since our government and the Internet industry have not effectively
provided safeguards for children, your kids may be confronted with unsafe Internet access
when they visit friends' homes or use the computer at school. The best protection for your
children is to hide God's Word in their hearts and minds. Remember that when they leave
the house within a few years they will have free access to anything on the Internet, so
they need to understand the reasons for your rules just as much as the rules themselves. |
