[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 38240, member: 1991"] It is a good idea to monitor kids' usage of online communication. We have desktops all round the house, but only one online. We have the option of cabling a second laptop to the broadband, but husband & I are he only ones who can do this. The kids are into Gaia in a big way but it has a lot of protections in the site. easy child 2/difficult child 2 is supervising difficult child 3 on his Gaia communications. She found a spoof message from the moderator today and immediately fired off a copy to the REAL moderator then called in difficult child 3 to show him how to spot a fake (to begin with, anyone asking for your personal details incl password is NOT the moderator). That's the biggest worry - kids who are computer savvy but people-naive. husband is also teaching difficult child 3 how bad people use the Internet to 'get at' people, their money and their time. The day will come when difficult child 3 is no longer protected by his youth and our supervision. We want him to learn how to be safe, as soon as possible. Marg [/QUOTE]
