Parents unconcerned...

A full third of US parents "are not concerned about their children's safety when using the Internet," according to a recent survey done for the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. Twenty percent of parents "do not know any of the Internet codes or passwords, IM handles or email addresses for their children using the Internet," according to the NCMEC's press release. And 5% or less of parents surveyed are familiar with the most commonly used acronyms used by children on the Internet, like "POS" ("parent over shoulder"), often used before a computer screen is quickly minimized before its contents can be seen by Mom or Dad.
