PLEASE NOTE: Although
ChildSafe Network has a logo which is quite similar to our
original logo which debuted back in the early 70's, ChildSafe
Network has no direct affiliation with CSI Corp. CSI is the
creator of the ORIGINAL ChildSafe, as well as the organization
that made that word a household word; thus the name of our
domain being "ChildSafe" was
born.

ADWARE / MALWARE / TROJAN SOLUTIONS
FYI: Adware, malware, trojans, viruses, where
does it all end? Many people do not even have any idea what these
things are. Adware, amd similar annoyances can become a nuisance
by slowing down the performance of your system, destroying files,
and many other serious issues. These solutions listed below,
assist you in fighting these issues and allowing your computer
to operate at maximum performance while also protecting your
personal information from identity theft.
BLOGS / FORUMS
FYI: Chat rooms have been a prevalent turf
for predators looking for children and family members to become
their next victim. When Blogs / Forums cam into play, many people
automatically assume that a blog or forum is far safer, but do
not be fooled. Although a blog / forum is not direct interaction
with others, it is at the same time like sending a letter to
someone.
Due to the sense of false security, kids especially tend to
assume that there is no danger. All ages of people drop their
guard by sometimes accidentally providing personal information,
or information which will allow a predator to track down actual
contact info such as your home address, phone #, and so much
more.

CHILDSAFE BROWSERS
FYI: ChildSafe browsers are
a vital tool for parents to make use of but it is important to
know it is NOT the ultimate solution. As always, kids find solutions
to get around a solution. Do not fall prey to the false security
that the ChildSafe browser is the answer and slack off on your
being careful with keeping tabs on what your kids are doing.

CHILDSAFE SEARCH ENGINES
FYI: You use a ChildSafe search engine, assuming
that every thing is peachy with no risk because the links are
assumed to be "ChildSafe" in content. What many people
fail to realize though, is that 3rd party links which may be
on the sites to which these "ChildSafe" sites link
to may in fact got to web sites which are not the same quality
of "safe" content.
FIREARMS SAFETY
FYI: Firearm safety is a primary concern
these days that should not be overlooked. We tend to assume that
because our firearm is locked away in a box in the closet or
where ever, our children often times get curious and may come
across the keys to the box that holds our firearm. The end result
very well may be your most serious mistake you will ever make
in your life.
If you have your firearm locked up in some manner, be sure
and ALWAYS keep the key on you. This will eliminate virtually
all risk of a child gaing access to your firearm and accidentally
shoting themselves or someone else. If your firearm is NOT locked
up, please consider the solutions provided here.
HOME / INTERNET / PUBLIC SAFETY
FYI: "Didn't you know?" These
are the immortal words soken by others who are NOT the victim,
yet always have to put their personal opinion in. There are many
dangers for children at home. These links assist you in identifying
what these dangers are and taking steps to protect your children
from them, and avoiding someone teling you those immortal words
of concern.
INTERNET CONTENT FILTERING
FYI: Content filtering for Internet usage
is a valuable tool but do not allow yourself to relax and think
there is no risk. Just today myself, I discovered web site that
give kids and other people instructions on how to disable various
software filtering solutions! You cannot let your guard down.
Remain ever vigilant in keeping watch on what your children view
in various forms of media, especially the Internet.
INTERNET MEDIA CONTENT RATING
FYI: You may not be aware of it, but in order
for most filtering software to be effectively used on a web site,
the content of the site must be PICS rated with a "content rating system"
such as SafeSurf or ICRA. SafeSurf was the first voluntary content rating system to be used on the Internet and established the first Internet content rating standard. SafeSurf is the only voluntary content
rating system which is ICCS
Certified. ICRA, the primary voluntary media content rating system for the UK and some other countries, came along some time after SafeSurf and for many years was a sub-standard in design in comparison to SafeSurf, but recently has become a more effective alternative to be considered.
- SafeSurf - The
original voluntary web content rating system ( Commercial ICCS™ Certified Licensee Since 1996
)
SafeSurf's rating system is designed to protect children on the Internet. It involves rating, classification, filtering and parental education, and employ's the SafeSurf Wave™, SS~~®, as a certification mark.
- ICRA - A UK based voluntary web rating system.
ICRA is a content labeling system that gives reasonable consistency and can be used by the full range of digital media, not just traditional websites.
SPAM SOLUTIONS
FYI: Practically everyone has heard of SPAM;
it is a common issue for anyone who uses a computer, but do you
know the "hidden" risk? What many parents do not realize,
is that pedophiles and other persons of perverted nature use
SPAM to obtain email addresses and other information of young
children and adults as well. These predators find ways to take
your email address and use it to trace further personal information
on your child or even yourself!
SEX OFFENDER SEARCH
FYI: All too often we assume our children
think on the same level of logic as ourselves and assume that
we have educated them sufficiently to avoid danger from sex offenders.
We need to remember that yes, we are busy as ever in society
today no matter what country you are in, but sex offenders are
every where and many are constantly devising new ways to find
a new victim. The link below will provide a FREE search for sex
offenders in YOUR area!
PLEASE NOTE: Although ChildSafe Network has a
