Dangers: SPAM

SPAM is a part of our lives. If we have email access, we are going to receive spam. Although spam filters help, they are not able to rid the inbox of all spam. Unfortunately, they often place real messages, often important ones, in our trash.

Although is it nothing for a parent to receive messages offering things like:

Find Sex Partners In Your City!
Buy Drugs Online HereE
Viagra, Valium, Etc Cheap!
Enlarge your Penis!

While these are annoying to adults, they are inappropriate for children. Spammers do not care who receives the messages. They have no code or inclination to send these messages to only specific users. These messages are intended to hit every valid email address on the internet.

The end result is that your child will receive these messages. As parents, we are responsible to protect the inbox of our child from these. Ignoring that responsibility leaves our children to fend for themselves. Unmonitored, we're leaving them to assume that drugs abuse is acceptable in society and that penis enlargement is important.
