Hi Dr. Phil I love your show I TB it if I can not watch it that day. I have two quiestions?First one is do you go in the chatroom on aol. and open a room The real Dr Phil is that you? Or is that something that is using a fack name. My second quiestion is are those real hankies that you hand the people? I noticed it has you intails on them
My brother as a college project had to catch a pedophile, get the person's personal information, so that person could be interested.
Within 5 minutes of setting up a profile of a 12 year old girl, he had 25 or MORE private messages sent to him from males trying to hit on him. He randomly chose one, and within 10 minutes, my brother explained that he was in the school's computer lab (posing as the 12 year old girl) and the guy wanted him to touch "yourself" IN class.
That is EXACTLY why, when my son gets older, I will NEVER have a computer in my son's room (he is 4 now). We will have one computer for the whole family located in the living room out in the open for all to see at anytime.
Net use can become addictive like any other intoxicant or candy. I think that kids should keep a private log of internet use so that they can become aware for themselves of how much time the web has seduced away from them each day. If you look back on a record of your own use from a day or two before, you might just shake your head without mom and dad having to tell you that you got suckered by bells and whistles. The same can apply to television viewing. Isn't it sad when TV is on constantly?
This goes directly to your show the other day. I do not care how good your kids are you need to have there internet codes and you have to demand their pages be set to private so they have to accept a person before they can look at the kids page. I'm not saying to read their e-mails but just like their room nothing is off limits under 18. I also have them as my friends so that I can look at the posts ect. Good kids, bad kids does not matter I feel its a parents job to keep kids safe.
At our house there is only one computer and it is in the dining room in a high traffic area where it's easy for my husband or myself to see what our kids are doing. It's also easy for our kids to ask for help if they need it. Even as teens, our kids are required to give us their passwords to what ever website they log into. We don't think of it as an invasion of privacy, not when there are millions of predators scanning the sites looking for prey.
It really isn't that hard to monitor what your kid is doing on the internet.
