KIDS IN CYBER DANGER

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) June 22, 2008 --
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA: In light of Child Safety Week it has become evident that the number of children and adolescents falling victim to the dangers of the internet is rapidly increasing. Due to the lack of time for supervising Internet activities and not using Internet filters, an alarming number of children are being exposed to unsuitable materials and online predators.

Australian company, Race River has developed the most reliable and technologically advanced internet filter Integard to ensure the safety of both children and adolescents whilst ‘surfing the net’.

The filtering software blocks inappropriate websites and monitors chat conversations to track any sign of ‘grooming’ by online predators and other suspicious behaviour so parents can be alerted of any potential problems.

Race River spokesperson, Mr Daniel Millerson said that there is a lack of awareness when it comes to the harsh realities that children can be faced with whilst online.

“Cases that involve children who have been affected by online predators and other potentially harmful material are a lot more common than most people like to believe.” Mr Millerson said.

“However, together with an increase of parental supervision and content filters, the internet will soon become a safer place for children and adolescents.” Mr Millerson continued.

Throughout Child Safety Week 23-29 June 2008, both French and English Integard can be ordered or downloaded for 50% off its original price.
