Summary: a wonderful book. and very helpful.
Review: I never thought I'd ever be reading a book for parents about internet safety. I got this as a gift. I didn't think I needed it. I thought my children learned this stuff at school. Instead, I was shocked to learn that the school was putting up their pictures on a school website, with their full names. There's a whole section about kids using the internet in school. Parry explained why it is dangerous to do this. I spoke to our principal and library media specialist. Our library media specialist"~ had met Parry at the librarians annual meeting where she was a speaker and had spoken with her. Apparently she's the top person in her field. She even works with the FBI and other police departments around the world. She's the only one I'd trust to keep my kids safe online."~ I hope I can get her to come and speak at our school. But if you need help, or are worried about what your kids are doing online when you're not home, you need this book. I did. I sent my freind a thank you note for sending me the book, telling her to read this review.

Summary: Rave review by Family PC Magazine! I agree! Buy it!
Review: I read Family PC Magazine regularly. Common sense and up on the latest things I want to know. This month, they reviewed this book and told stories about the author and her fight against pedophiles and child pornographers online. I was curious, and since I trust Family PC, bought the book. It was hard to get, apparently it's sold out in a lot of places offline already, but I bought it online. It was like reading a Family PC Book, easy to udnerstand, everything was relevant to what I wanted to know. This woman isn't a censorship fanatic, she tells us things I hadn't heard elsewhere about how pedophiles operate online and what our kids really do online. I also learned about filtering software, what works and what doesn't and found some great sites for my children to enjoy safely. What a help. It wasn't techy at all. It felt like we were having a conversation. Jokes and funny asides throughout the book, it was one of the easiest books I have ever read. It's just the help I needed. Once again, Family PC has steered me right. Right to this incredible book, written by an incredible person who cares about children. Buy the book, I've heard that the author runs these programs with her own money and that the money earned on this book helps kids online. So, buy two.! ;-)

Summary: I'm a teen and this book helped save my girlfriend
Review: I read this book when my mother bought it for me and my friends to read. I was very interested in what this person said about online safety and teens. Most talk about how terrible the internet is, but she thinks it's great for teens as long as we use it following safety rules.My girlfriend was chatting with a boy she met online. He sent her pictures and said he loved her. She even talked to him on the phone. When he asked to meet her at the mall, I told her about the stories I read in this book, and gave her the book to read. She didn't meet him after she read the stories about bad men who tried to trick girls into meeting them offline. Her parents found out and found out that this boy wasn't really a boy. Mrs. Aftab helps keep teens safe. I want to work for her group and help other teens. Thank you Mrs. Parry Aftab for caring about teens. we love you! a sixteen year old girl

Summary: On behalf of all parents, thank you!
Review: Just when I was prepared to pull the plug, I heard about this book. Our pastor recommended it for our congregation. I was worried about who my son might be meeting online. I'm not a computer person. I didn't know how things worked and what dangers are serious and which are just paranoia. After I finished this book (which only took a few hours this weekend) I knew how to talk to my son about the Internet and how to get my daughter online when she's ready. I finally understand about filtering software, and using her recommendations bought one today. My friend liked her safe site lists best, and decided not to use filtering software for her daughter. But we both understood how to make that choice. I wish we had more books like this. This woman really is an angel. I read about her in the new Readers Digest, in an article called Angels Online.

Summary: Just when I needed it the most. A big help
Review: My daughter met someone from the Internet. It never occurred to me that she would. She's only 14. Luckily she told a friend, who told her mother. Before anything bad happened, we were able to report this guy (who wasn't 15 as he had told my daughter he was). Don't let your family surf the web unarmed against these kinds of people. This book will give you all you need to arm your chldren and yourself against the predators who trick children online. Thank goodness this incredible woman took the time from her busy life to help us, just when we needed her most. Buy one of these for everyone who has children who you love. Schools should be giving it away to all parents.

Summary: Our police chief told us to buy this book.
Review: Our police department has worked with the author of this book in trying to help victims of cybercrimes. She really knows her stuff. She has even shared many things that my teens wish she hadn't. Now when they type POS, I know it means that they are telling their friends that their parent is looking over their shoulder. When I don't know where to turn, I just turn to this book. I keep it next to my computer so my children can rely on it too. I was amazed that they enjoyed it as much as I did. Next time, I'll buy the book BEFORE I buy the computer and set it up right. a country mom.
