She makes it simple...and empowers parents!

Parry Aftab is the foremost online safety expert...and a previous commentor was right, some of her tips can be found on tv, because she's the one who teaches the tv stations how to understand online safety! She now heads the largest online safety and edcuational program in cyberspace, Cyberangels.org, which just received the foremost national honor for volunteer organizations from the White House. She takes a difficult subject and makes it understandable. And...the book sales benefit children in wheel-chairs. I gave the book to my sister, to help her guide my nieces online. She loved it too! I bought six books to give as gifts for Christmas.

A great book for concerned parents.

I belive you can find a good collection of information regarding kids safty on the Internet. As this technology is emerging one needs good solid information but yet well written and simple to understand.
