Review
"The Internet can be fantastic place, AND a dangerous place. Gregory Smith lays out how to better understand that place in terms of our children's safety. As parents, we need to understand what our children are doing online, and this book is a great help to those of us who are novices at technology. The book should be required reading for all parents of teens and preteens--most of whom know far less than their own children about the Internet."-Julie Aigner-Clark, Founder, The Safe Side
