Life and Death on the Internet

Summary: This opened my eyes
Review: After reading Life and Death on the Internet I put some of the recommendations outlined in the book. I figured it would be mildly interesting until I found out my fourteen year old son was in contact with another woman online. Pornographic pictures were sent to my son. I turned this over to the police. It turns out that the woman was really a man with a criminal histroy of molesting buys. My family has been saved. The guy who did this still has to stand trial but he is behind bars. I just pray he is convicted.

If you have children buy and read this book. I never believed that this could happen to me. I was just curious and got an eye opening experience. Use the material in this book. It could save your child's life.

Summary: Very informative, but
Review: Life and Death on the Internet is the most informative book I've read on Internet safety. This book starts out explaining a few simple facts about the Internet and then gets serious with solutions to privacy issues every Internet uses faces, especially parents. Many helpful ideas were presented in an easy to follow format. The only concern I had with this book is that the author put an Appendix in the book listing all the free and anonymous pornographic newsgroups, including child pornography, bestiality, bondage, torture, cheerleaders (which many times include kids), and homosexuality. I understand why he needed to do that. I just feel that some may buy the book to view pornography and that is not the purpose of the book.

Overall I rate this book 5 stars. This book does not just outline the problems, but provides solutions to protect your family from Internet indecencies and protect your privacy.
