4. Internet Parental Control Software




            Parental control software has two functions.  The first function is to filter what children look at.  This is very similar to internet filtering, except usually more limited in internet access.  For example, some parents may choose to only allow selected websites for view by children, instead of selecting what they can’t view.  This allows for only a limited number of websites to be accessed. 
            The other function that some parental control programs have is to track internet activity of children.  These programs vary in price.  Some can track everything that people do on the computer.  They can show the parents online chats the children have had, sent and received e-mails, websites that have been visited, images that have been viewed, and even keystrokes that have been typed.  The main purpose of parental control software is to keep children from accessing inappropriate websites, and also for safety from child predators.
