ATLANTA, Oct. 11 /Christian Newswire/ -- FamilyLife, a ministry dedicated to effectively developing godly marriages and families who change the world one home at a time, is shedding light on an issue that touches nearly every home in America: How to keep families safe online.
On Wednesday, Oct. 10 and Thursday, Oct. 11, FamilyLife is dedicating its popular radio program FamilyLife Today to the topic of online safety. Guests for the two broadcasts will be author Vicki Courtney and Aaron Kenny, Chief Technology Officer and co-founder of InternetSafety.com. Kenny, who speaks frequently about online safety issues, warns parents that up to 75 percent of kids have posted personal information online--putting themselves and their families at risk to online predators.
FamilyLife Founder and President Dennis Rainey believes that Internet safety is an issue that no parent can afford to overlook. "Every parent, regardless of the age of your children, needs to know what's happening, where the dangers are, and what they can do," said Rainey.
Safe Eyes, the No. 1 Internet safety solution for homes as rated by PC Magazine and America's leading consumer advocacy magazine, helps even technology-challenged parents quickly improve their kids' safety online. By blocking inappropriate websites, limiting time spent online and providing instant messaging and social networking features, Safe Eyes is helping in the fight to protect children against online predators.
"I love the Internet. But the truth is, while I do appreciate what the Internet provides for us, it's also a risky place to be," said Bob Lepine, co-host of FamilyLife Today. "That's why we have Safe Eyes installed on our family computer. Safe Eyes puts the control is back in Mom and Dad's hands."
Rainey, whose own children are grown, recognizes the value of a tool like Safe Eyes. "I wish we had this when our kids were growing through the teenage years."
