Parents Tracking Kids Online

Parents are proactively monitoring and tracking their children’s activity online to protect them from Internet hassle.

According to a new survey by people search engine Yasni.co.uk, 72 per cent of parents track their children’s activity to protect them from cyber-bullying, Paedophiles, and giving out personal information.

The research also revealed that of those parents who said they monitored their child’s online presence, 56 per cent did so because they were worried about what personal information the child was giving out, 14 per cent did so as they were worried their child would meet someone they did not know, 13 per cent were worried about cyber-bullying, and 11 per cent wanted to check their child’s wellbeing.

CEO and Co-founder of yasni.co.uk Steffen Ruehl said: “There is no doubt that there is a huge increase in parents monitoring their children’s online activity in the UK as parents become increasingly wary of the information their kids are putting on the web.

“Our site can help parents to quickly and efficiently monitor what their kids are saying online, and where necessary, take action to prevent anything untoward happening via the internet”.
