Protecting our Kids on the Internet PDF Print E-mail

Fellow Church Members,

 

Pastor John has encouraged us recently to "protect the gates". Not only in our own lives but in the lives of our children as well.  One area of concern for me is the Internet.  Even when they don’t intend to, most kids — often while doing their homework on the Internet — run into Internet hazards and unwanted material. I’ve begun using software on our home computer to filter sites that I don’t want my children to see. I’m hoping to convince you to do the same.

 

I’m writing this because I’ve realized something: We are the first generation of Internet parents! The internet is an important part of our lives and our children's lives and is almost imperative now for schoolwork, but it has introduced an entirely new set of concerns into our household. I also hope that you are visiting the sites your children visit, just as you would want to know where they go in the real world.

 

A company called Blue Coat has made its Internet filtering software available for free to parents in our communities. They’ve created a consumer-friendly parental-control solution called K9 Web Protection that’s based on their commercial technology. Any parent can have it for free by going to www.getk9.com.  There are no catches,  no gimmicks, no ads.   It is 100% free.   Blue Coat is a very successful company and their protection software is installed in thousands of major corporations all around the world.  Their success in the corporate world has allowed them to offer their home product completely free.

 

 

Blue Coat has no political or religious affiliation. They simply know what is out there on the Internet, and how important it is to protect kids from sites that promote hate speech, violence or pornography.


Filtering tools like K9 aren’t the complete solution. There are many more things that you can do to "protect your gates".   This is just a single and simple, but very important step..

 

I have used this product and I think that you will enjoy it's ease of use.

 

 

Sincerely yours in Christ,
