5.0 out of 5 stars Must Reading for Concerned Parents, September 17, 2002

This review is from: Safety Monitor: How to Protect Your Kids Online (Paperback)

Safety Monitor is must reading for concerned parents. In the information age parents often become overwhelmed by Internet technology. Coach Mike makes it easy for parents to understand the problem (the safety of their kids), how to interact effectively with their children about the Internet and its use, and what to do if a problem occurs. The parent will know what to do and who to call if help is needed.

This books empowers parents to do what they do best, monitor the behavior of their children. This alone makes Safety Monitor a must read for parents.

5.0 out of 5 stars I bought this book because...., February 14, 2003

This review is from: Safety Monitor: How to Protect Your Kids Online (Paperback)

of all of the cyber safety books out there, the advice from Safety Monitor comes from a cop that is out there everyday, putting cyber predators behind bars. Who better to give advice to parents like myself.

Sullivan really takes me through the process step by step starting with the profile of an online predator -how to identify one, and finally how to avoid and protect your family. The book ends with a plethora of valuable resources from security software to smart cyber behavior, and finally various national organizations that identify and support this very important issue..

Detective Mike Sullivan patrols the cyber playgrounds and teaches parents how to do the same.

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY INFORMATIVE, February 14, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Safety Monitor: How to Protect Your Kids Online (Paperback)

I am so very thankful for this book! My kids spend a lot of time online and I just couldn't imagine one of my kids being unfortunate enough to stumble into dangerous territory. I bought this book after seeing Detective Mike Sullivan on The Oprah Winfrey show teaching parents of the dangers that children face online. I purchased this book as a preventative. I really enjoyed thechapter on ways to to talk to your child about the dangers that children face online. How do I bring it up? How do I gain their trust? How to I get them to take me seriously? Another chapter that I found INVALUABLE, was about protection software that I could install in my computer. Sullivan gave me the tools to safe-proof my child's computer.

I recommend this book to all parents!
