From One Concerned Parent to Another

Welcome to IP Parent! I started this site after years of involvement in the Internet — both on a personal and business level. I’ve been using the Internet since the mid-1980’s when I was a college student - and it was just a cool way to communicate with people for free. I have worked for one of the biggest communications companies (Lucent Technologies - LU), managed the marketing department of an Internet Security startup and spent the last year working with a leading Spanish Internet Security firm (Optenet) to introduce their Parental Control software products to the US market. But most importantly, I am a mother of 3 children who spend time in cyberspace. I know the dangers they face - and it concerns me. And I know what we, as parents, can and should be doing to protect our children. I started this site to share my knowledge and experience because most parents are not aware of the dangers. And even those of you who think you are, I guarantee you have not thought about everything. And it is only getting worse out there online. So feel free to read, comment and contact me. I am here to help you keep your kids safe while they surf.
