@Kelsey: This is an excerpt taken from the Net Nanny site FAQs for the Mobile software.
“Are you substituting technology for good parenting?
Absolutely not. The number one thing parents can do to keep their kids safe is BE INVOLVED. Talk to your kids.
You tell your kids to put on seatbelts in the car, and you tell them to wear helmets when they ride bikes. But you still teach them to drive safely and to ride their bikes safely. Just like a helmet or a seatbelt, Net Nanny is a tool parents can use to help them keep their kids safe. It’s no substitute for parental involvement. But couldn’t we all use some help now and then?”
