Computers have become indispensable and the Internet can contribute considerably to the development of your child. To you it may be overwhelming, but to your child it is quite normal to have free daily access to a flow of information and being in contact with the whole world through the Internet. The fact that in this way the whole world can also come into contact with your child and that s/he can be negatively influenced through chatrooms, webshops or questionable websites is a fear well known to many parents. When does freedom cross over to safety? VISE offers you the opportunity to protect your child against risks on the Internet, but without prohibiting his/her freedom or development. You can create a personal profile for each child. In that profile you record limits as to the number of hours s/he can use the computer, websites that you feel are unsuitable and what language should be avoided. You receive statistics that show you exactly what your child has been doing on the Internet. You can even make screenshots to see what read-outs your child has opened during your absence. If your child finds a restriction to be unjust, s/he can simply send you, the administrator, a change request.

Let VISE work for you and start learning what your children do today! do you know the online behaviour of your child? Cyberbullying In the past, children spent a lot of their time outside the home. Nowadays the use of the PC and Internet play an important part in their lives. Not only has bullying been transferred to the online world, the combination of fast and anonymous communication amongst peers has made bullying even easier. Furthermore, the virtual distance ensures that they dare to say more and that the limits of appropriate language are frequently overstepped. Cybersex Cybersex is the generic term for any form of pornographic or erotic experience through the Internet. This includes viewing erotic pictures and videos, but nowadays it usually means chatsex (with or without a webcam). Children falling into the cybersex trap are getting younger all the time. The risk is not only that erotic pictures and films are placed on the Internet by the chatter but the curious adolescent usually does not realise that the person may not be who they say they are, which may cause nasty surprises! (Online) computer games A lot has been said and written about this recently. Do some computer games lead to children exhibiting certain types of behaviour? Are children in danger of becoming socially isolated because they play games for long periods of time? Or does online gaming stimulate social contact amongst peers? It would seem that (online) computer games may lead to addictions but this is not the case for everyone. It is a fact that computer games are here to stay and that children will play them. It is, therefore, important to guide and monitor their use of computers to allow them to acquire acceptable behaviour. Supports: Windows XP and Vista. Languages: English, Dutch and German.
