What happenned to parents?
Why do these people feel there is a need for software like this. I have kids and am fully aware (90% of the time) of what they are doing.
It'd be difficult to accomplish something adverse in the little time I leave them alone since

A) I know they are playing games and I can hear the sounds.

B) I check when they are unaware (sneaky parent)

and

C) I have control of their PC's if necessary (have to log them on so they can't go online when I am not home - after all I pay the bill)

So all I have to say to this scum company is stay away from my PC's because I and MANY others out there do a fine job of being parents and those few that don't, well, in the end they'll pay the attorney fees because they don't care.

Here's a lesson for parents - if you can't be home to monitor your kids online experience - cancel their logon so you have to log it on before they can use it. If they complain, teach them about something kids forgot, BOOKS! Last, always keep half an eye on what they are doing when they are online (after all we have eyes in the back of our heads don't we?)
