3.0 out of 5 stars There is better, September 21, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Parents Guide to the Internet: And How to Protect Your Children in Cyberspace (Paperback)

This book really does little to help parents protect their kids. Personally, I prefer a book by Keith A Schroeder called 'Life and Death on the Internet'. Mr Schroeder provides solutions that work and less time on complaining about the problem. We all know the problem is there, now let's do something about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars She makes it simple...and empowers parents!, November 28, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Parents Guide to the Internet: And How to Protect Your Children in Cyberspace (Paperback)

Parry Aftab is the foremost online safety expert...and a previous commentor was right, some of her tips can be found on tv, because she's the one who teaches the tv stations how to understand online safety! She now heads the largest online safety and edcuational program in cyberspace, Cyberangels.org, which just received the foremost national honor for volunteer organizations from the White House. She takes a difficult subject and makes it understandable. And...the book sales benefit children in wheel-chairs. I gave the book to my sister, to help her guide my nieces online. She loved it too! I bought six books to give as gifts for Christmas.

2.0 out of 5 stars Important subject, but amateurish writing., April 23, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Parents Guide to the Internet: And How to Protect Your Children in Cyberspace (Paperback)

A rather amateurish collection of tips that one might just as easily find in a newspaper article on internet safety. This is a very important subject matter, and hopefully in the future there will be books that are much more comprehensive on the topic, as well as more up to date.

2.0 out of 5 stars A GIFT FOR A YOUNG PARENT
Unfortunately this book did not live up to expectations; dated and refers

to software that no longer exists. Needs a rewrite for sure. Would not buy again.
