The Internet Is On The Cellphone

For the uninitiated parent, internet access is not limited to the home computer.  Your kids also have access via todays portable devices such as cellphones.    Sites that are sometimes abused are easily accessible via mobile portals.  

For example, the mobile portal for myspace works not only from higher end pda phones but also from the lower end phones found in backpacks and back pockets in your home.  If a parent neglects to understand this fact, the "grounding from myspace" doesn't work out too well.  

Keeping children safe is not as simple as blocking myspace from your home router or telling them "no myspace for a week".  If they want it, they will access it.  Unfortunately, if they want to hide it from you, you're probably not going to know about it until it's too late.
