• The FBI has seen a 2000 percent increase in the number of child pornography images on the internet since 1996.5

• It is estimated that employees spend twice as much time surfing the Internet at work as they do at home.

• According to the FBI: Chat rooms offer the advantage of immediate communication around the world and provide the pedophile with an anonymous means of identifying and recruiting children into sexually illicit relationships.5

• People are spending more time surfing the Internet at work than they are at home, mainly because home Web connection speeds pale in comparison to the faster connections that companies give their employees.2

• There are currently three child predators listed on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.5

• The most popular sites surfed at work closely mirror the most popular sites surfed at home and include: pornographic web sites, financial web sites, shopping sites, and chat sites.

• The FBI recommends that you should monitor your child's access to all types of live electronic communications (i.e., chat rooms, instant messages, Internet Relay Chat, etc.), and monitor your child's e-mail. Computer-sex offenders almost always meet potential victims via chat rooms. After meeting a child on-line, they will continue to communicate electronically often via e-mail..5
