5. ParentingMonitor Your Child's Cell Phone and Internet ActivityAre you aware of what your child is doing online? The following programs can help you monitor your kids' cell phone and Internet activity:DadGuardInstall on the computer you'd like to monitor — from anywhere in the world. DadGuard recordings are organized into an easy-to-read Activity Report that is automatically sent to any email address you choose, as often as you'd like. You'll receive an exact copy of their emails, chats and instant messages, as they occur.TextGuardThis is an application you install on your child's cell phone. Once the program is running, you can log into the Web site and watch all incoming and outgoing calls, text messages, e-mails and Web browsing history. You can select a certain phone number and block any activity to that number as well, so if you suspect suspicious communication, you can make sure your child cannot text, e-mail or call that person. My Mobile WatchdogThis is also an application that you install on a cell phone. On its Web site, It gives you a listing of all activity on a given phone. It also alerts you if calls or messages come in from a specific number. For instance, if you see a suspicious or unauthorized person calling, texting, or e-mailing your child, that call is routed through the My Mobile Watchdog Data Center. Notifications are then sent to all persons you have established from your Web application, such as parents, teachers, police, etc. From your Web application or mobile phone application, you can see all suspicious activity, along with full content, including images. You can also print out reports to pass on to law enforcement or school officials.

25. SUGGESTIONS • Make sure your child does not spend all of his/her time on the computer. People, not computers, should be their best friends and companions. • Keep the computer in an area where it can be monitored, like the family room, kitchen or living room, not in your child’s bedroom. • Learn enough about computers so you can enjoy them together with your kids. • Teach them never to meet an online friend offline unless you are with them. • Watch your children when they’re online and see where they go. • Make sure that your children feel comfortable coming to you with questions and don’t over react if things go wrong. • Keep kids out of chatrooms unless they are monitored. • Encourage discussions between you and your child about what they enjoy online.

26. Teach them what information they can share with others online and what they can’t (like telephone numbers, address, their full name and school) • Get to know their “online friends” just as you get to know all of their other friends. • Warn them that people may not be what they seem to be and that people they chat with are not their friends, they are just people they chat with. • Discuss these rules, get your children to agree to adhere to them, and post them near the computer as a reminder. www.cyber-safety.com

27. Fight Back Four steps you can start taking now to make ID security a priority — and a practice: • 1. Change weak passwords. Do not use your birth date or part of your address or phone number. Strongest passwords combine upper- and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. • 2. Make sure your home Wi-Fi network is password-protected. Be careful how you use your devices at public hot spots. Most aren't secure — which means any information you send is only protected if you're on an encrypted website. To be sure a website is encrypted, look for "https" in the address before you log in or send any personal info. • 3.Don't click on links in unsolicited emails. Don't give out information over the phone or online unless you've verified the source. • 4.Keep your eye on debit and credit cards when paying for purchases. If anything seems out of the ordinary, be cautious using your card. www.ftc.gov/idtheft
