Pedophiles and Child Pornographers
aren't the only dangers on the Internet. Short of a caring, mentoring teacher, the
Web is the most efficient tool we have for gathering information in a short amount of
time. But, the search for legitimate data can take a child to places which should
never be visited by children. SentryCam documents every site about which a child may
exhibit even the mildest curiosity.A youngster may research
the philosophy of the Americal political system or the tenents of hate groups and
dangerous cults. Sites promoting Satanic worship and random violence are not difficult to
find and may have played roles in recent incidences of school violence. A child may learn
how to build sandcastles and computers, or landmines and sex toys. The net provides
recipes for potato soup and play dough, or methamphetamines and napalm.
SentryCam acts as an early warning system to let parents know
when their children display curiosity about inappropriate material. The best weapon a
parent has against the dangers of the Internet is the knowledge that his or her child has
visited, (or happened upon), unsafe sites or has been visited by individuals with
questionable motives or dangerous ideas. If the best defense is knowledge, the best tool
for gathering that knowledge is SentryCam.
