A Georgia father says Internet filter saved his daughter from similar tragedy facing
Florida family.
You’ve seen the news of a 15-year-old Florida girl who was duped over the Internet
into believing a 46-yearold convicted sex offender was a man in his 20’s, then running
off with him. The girl says William Joe Mitchell had a gun and threatened to kill
her. Police also believe Mitchell sexually assaulted her before he let her go. Mitchell
was arrested this weekend at a gas station in Virginia. The two reportedly met online
on the social networking site, Myspace.
The case hits close to home for a Georgia family counting their blessings. In a
very similar story, the family’s 14-year-old daughter was unknowingly involved with
a man on Myspace. Because the family used the [Bsecure] Internet filter, that
tracks websites visited and records Instant Message conversations, the father was
able to keep a close eye on his daughter’s online activities. The father forbid
his daughter from meeting with the online acquaintance. A few weeks later, the father
saw that same man named as a suspect in the rape of local teenager. The father says,
“With Bsafe’s help, I managed to keep my 14-year-old away from a guy who shortly
after, was in the paper for raping another 14-year-old….God Bless Bsafe.com. “
[Bsecure] can block social networking sites like Myspace or Facebook if the parent
wants, or a parent can use the weekly reporting feature to review sites visited
by their child. R-rated sites are always blocked. Instant message and chat room
conversations are monitored and recorded and vulgar language filtered from a database
of more than 12-hundred words or abbreviations. In [Bsecure]’s latest version
the exclusive feature PredAlert ™ notifies the person with whom the child is chatting
that they are also being monitored and recorded. [Bsecure] believes this serves
as an effective deterrent against anyone who has ill intentions with a child.
Both Virginia and Florida law requires sex offenders register their email address
as well as their Instant Message handles. With [Bsecure], parents can block IM
contacts based on information provided on the state’s registry.
A reminder, October is Crime Prevention Month. What better way to prevent cyber
crime than for parents to install Parental Controls on their computer, like Bsafe
Online.
