`
`Kids are naturally curious, and the Internet is a great source of information. But if
`you're a parent, you want to make sure the information your child gets from the
`Web isn't X-rated. How easy is it for your kids to see porn online, and what can
`you do about it? CBS This Morning asked John Quain, a technology reporter
`and contributing editor to PC Magazine.
`
`"The Internet is a wonderful place for kids to explore the world around
`them, to help them do homework, to make friends and have fun," says
`Quain. But he adds, "I'm afraid it's pretty easy to be led astray, and there
`are people out there just waiting to take advantage of any typo or
`mistake your kid might make."
`
`A notorious example of a Web site that takes advantage of a common typing error
`involves the White House. The address www.whitehouse.gov gets you to the
`official site, with a special section just for kids. But www.whitehouse.com is a porn
`site and www.whitehouse.org is sponsored by bondagecom.
`
`Even a simple typo can lead a user astray. The site "www.shareware.com" is
`popular with pre-teens. But leave out one letter when typing the address, and you
`get to a site that is strictly adults—only.
`
`You may think a user needs a credit card to get far into X—rated content on the
`Web. But that isn't true, Quain says. "Unfortunately, there is plenty offree
`pornography out there. One place many people don‘t know about is
`through your email."
`
`He explains, "going to a group called 'newsgroups' and then typing in
`some suggestive words gives your kid a whole list of photos which start
`with Playboy-like poses and get worse."
`
`Don't pull the plug on the computer, though. There‘s plenty a parent can do to
`encourage safe surfing.
`
`The latest entry is a new online service called JuniorNet.com, which just launched
`Tuesday. It's designed to keep kids ages 3 to 12 surfing the Internet safely.
`
`Most sites like America Online and search engines like Yahoo or Lycos screen out
`inappropriate sites. But, Quain says, there is still need for caution: "They all
`have options that you can select that will screen out material for kids.
`But I put the word 'sex' in one of these search engines, and got
`hundreds of adult sites," he says.

`Computer Porn—Busters — CBS News
`
`Safe Kids. They're great for parents who know nothing about the Internet and its
`dangers. They explain what those dangers are and offer good advice on how to
`avoid them.
`
`There also are software filters that parents can install that will block out
`inappropriate materials. Quain cites NetNanny, CyberSitter and CyperPatrol as
`good examples, These programs steer children to more approriate sites, or tell
`them they've made an error so they don't know they were blocked. One option
`these programs offer is to simply monitor sites the child is viewing without
`interfering.
`
`Quain cautions that the programs can be time consuming to install because they
`can be customized to limit where a child can go, how long they can stay on line and
`even how long they can play games.

`
`But no program is foolproof, especially when many kids know more about the
`Internet than their parents.
`
`Quain offers these additional tips for parents:
`Make searching the Internet a family activity. Be with your child as he does
`his research or at least keep the computer in a common room like the kitchen
`or living room so you can keep an eye out.
`Establish hours when the child can use the Internet.
`
`Talk to your kids about the dangers out there and stress that they must never
`give out any personal information online.
