Host Bill Press: Donna Rice Hughes from in Washington-what
should parents be doing, Donna?
Hughes: Well, I think first of all, parents need to be aware that there are
some dangers on the Internet, but the Internet is a tremendous tool, so I
would encourage parents not to pull the plug, but to be aware of what their
children are doing, to spend time online with them, and it's very important
to teach your children safety rules, but also to utilize software tools,
because a lot of what's coming into the home is very difficult to monitor,
like your guest just said, because parents are busy. And, in fact,
is a family-friendly Internet service provider that offers
not only wonderful family content, but does alot of the filtering and the
screening at their servers. So it's more of a plug-n-play solution, if you
will, that really helps partner with parents so that parents can make sure
that their kids are safe online, especially when they're not there.
