BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE
Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Holy Shit!
For those that have teenage children, be very careful with allowing them access to Myspace, facebook and other forums that allow them chat and communications. From my work, I dealt many times with chidlren that were victims of sexual abuse due to Myspace.
It is important that you take the time to check on your kids. They may think you are invading their privacy, but they will thank you later. If you need any advice or help in this area, please let me know.

Anyone so disconnected from their own childs life should be sterilized. That way we don't have to worry about them having another. If you don't talk to your kids and let them know what's right or wrong, safe or not, no amount of warnings about not going to my space or face book will keep you child from some pervert trying to have sex with them.
Geez, people are scumbags.......

I agree. Parents need to take a more active role in raising their children, knowing what's going on in their lives and actually being a role model for your own children. Some people believe that it is the school's job to raise their children. I am a believer in the saying "It takes a village to raise a child", but I don't have to do all the work.
Just my humble opinion.

I'm very active in my kids life. I'm a fixture at their school, I'm at the bus stop every morning waiting with them, I'm always making sure that they have everything done, hell...I'm the guy that wakes them up a few minutes early if all of their stuff isn't done.
The one thing that makes it really different for me than some guys is I don't let my kids use cell phones or have email addresses. I don't let them go to sites where the have to register to navigate the site either.
I think a lot of parents don't stop to realize that there are a lot of sites out there that are asking for registration info on the sites. I know I don't spend a ton of time on girly girly 12 y/o dress maker dot com, but I know my kids do I so I check it out. I use my history to make sure that the sites that they go to doesn't ask anything personal or ask for any real info. If it does, I block the crap out of it.
I don't think the schools need to do anything more than teach skills. It's my job to teach them morals, responsibility and character. I know the teachers do their best to help us parents out but I think lately we have pushed too much on the schools shoulders.

I agree, we have to be a fixture in our kids life. Call it what you want, as an IT Manager, I run keylogger on all the pc's within my home network. I have filters that look for anything inappropriate and depending on the level of inappropriateness, it shuts the PC down and sends me an e-mail. My son is 10 and I want to keep him that way for as long as I can.

Now that's handy:assaultri
Keyloggers are a great tool and work great. The only problem is if your child is technically advanced, he can bypass the key logger by another program, which can be obtained off of sites like Livewire, Kazaa, etc.
