safekids.co.za is serious about protecting children
Non-profitable content security company safekids.co.za takes children's exposure to undesirable elements on the Internet seriously safekids.co.za is a gated community on the Internet, which children can surf freely, safe from predators and undesirable elements.
"Parents have a false sense of security about the Internet, and are unaware that it is a source of pornographic and other undesirable material," says safekids.co.za managing director Annette Carrick. "Unlike adults, children are not intimidated by computers and are taught how to use them as early as pre-school. Most children learn how to access the Internet at school, and are taught how to use search engines to locate information on any topic. This is where the problems begin."
A recent Oprah Winfrey show highlighted how easy it is for children to obtain information on the purchase of illegal weapons, drugs, liquor and cigarettes, or download instructions on how to make a bomb, hotwire a car and commit credit card fraud. |
