Conclusion

Let it be that people say this problem can’t be overcome. If we don’t do anything than of course this problem will never be resolved. So what can we do is just try our best in trying to keep such site from living up. Report and block those sites that are inappropriate. Educate our kids into becoming responsible adults. Follow the do’s and dont’s guideline and hope for the best in keeping our children safe from using the internet in an ill mannered way.

Keeping it safe (Prevention 2)

Based on our research other ways to prevent kids from accessing inappropriate sites are by monitoring them while using the computer. Place the computer in a non-hidden area so we always or mostly keep an eye on them.

Strange acts done by our kids may show some signs that they have been exposed to such improper content. Asking for privacy when using the web falls under acting strangely. Calling people whom you don’t recognize falls under the acting strange category.

Research outcome (Identifying the problems)

The problem with kids these days is that they can be easily exposed to mature content when browsing on the web. These contents should be authorized first before publishing it on the web. But due to not many people supporting or helping in keeping the internet safe for kids, made this situation out of hand and cannot or very hard to overcome.

Inappropriate content for kids are such as, violent acts, gore and other mature content should be blocked from public view. The user must verify themselves that they are old enough and/or have proof that their guardian or anyone responsible approve/allowing them to accessing such site.

Other than inappropriate site content, there is also a problem in kids knowing whether an item can be obtained free or have to legally buy them. This is a problem in copyright and legalize in purchasing items. Most children don’t understand the term piracy or even copyright and this could turn out to be a problem.
