Children are the most naive creature on earth and at an early age everything that is in the life of a child influence him. Starting with books, movies, friends and the Internet influence how your child thinks. There were even studies proving that repeated exposure to media violence have bad effects on child’s behavior.
For example Dr. Ruth Mock (1970), states, “television is the one influence, common to us all today, which replaces the social, religious, and political meetings and festivals which were potent expressions in the past.” As television influence the child, the same happens when comes about the Internet. And more than then that Internet is unlimited and opened source providing any information you need but also is the new dimension to the issue of media violence. Starting with cruel humor sites and continuing to disturbing picture of torture and sadism, children can download aggressive video clips and online games, access violent images, with the simple click of a mouse.
That’s why parents are taking desperate measures when it came about their children’s safety. But any choice you would they take, my opinion is to always consult with specialists. On the other side many parents have chosen to use parental control software for their children’s online protection. To briefly explain, parental control software is sort of “cyber nanny” taking care of your child while he/she browse the web. These applications can block and restrict access to specific websites that might contain improper content and also to block any application (e.g.: games, chat applications) before these take place.
