MySpace Monitor What are your children seeing on My Space? You're a sensible, safety-conscious parent. You don't let your children decorate their rooms with violent or pornographic images. You have made it clear that you won't tolerate swearing. You certainly wouldn't approve of them bringing home friends who call themselves SuicideLullaby or PeeStandingUp. So why would you let them get away with all this and more on MySpace?

MySpace is a growing phenomenon, popular with teens all across the globe. It is easy to understand its appeal. Each person creates their own page, their own "space", where they can express themselves without parental monitoring or censorship, and form bonds with other people online. In some ways, MySpace is very traditional - girls have pink pages where they talk about love and kittens, and boys use darker shades and boast about their drunken escapades.

But it doesn't stop there. A quick browse through MySpace shows that many of the girls are putting up scantily-clad photos of themselves. There's swearing, talk of drug use, and suicidal poetry. In short, there are many things on MySpace that you would never want your children to see. Sometimes, the dangers of MySpace spread to the real world, as certain news stories about sexual predators illustrate.

Many parents have already discovered the horrors of MySpace. A well-known Internet safety expert recently revealed that she receives about 1,000 emails a day from parents who are upset about what they've seen on MySpace. So what can you do?

For most parents, a MySpace monitoring solution such as SniperSpy is the most practical solution. With the help of software, you can keep an eye on how your children use MySpace at all times - even when you're out of the house. You can choose to use SniperSpy in two different ways. Either you tell your children that you're monitoring their MySpace use, which means that they're likely to be much more cautious and sensible - essentially, it'll be as if you're standing next to them, asking "should you really be doing that"? The other option is to run SpyAgent in total stealth mode, and find out exactly what your children do and who they talk to when you're not around.

As well as monitoring MySpace, SpyAgent lets you read emails, monitor chats and instant messages, block access to certain websites and much, much more. If you're worried about your children's safety online but can't stand next to the computer at all times, SpyAgent is the solution for you.
