Here's a new product that aims to protect kids online. With instances such as cyber-bullying, internet predators and inappropriate social networking becoming more and more rampant online, it gets much more difficult or impossible to prevent filtering what children see unless parents are sitting right beside them. There are many methods to block websites and content, but most of these solutions only address a small part of the problem.
According to a recent study, children and teens spend an average of 3 hours a day on the internet - in an online world where you, as a parent, are mostly excluded. The FBI and parenting experts have been very clear on the subject - parents MUST become more involved and aware of what their kids are doing online.
PG Key plugs into any USB port on the computer in use. Similar to a car key, the key must be inserted in order for the child to "drive" onto the internet.
When PG Key is in the computer, a combination of content filters, activity recording and alert notifications are enabled for the internet session. These features allow parents to enforce the rules they set for their kids' safe computer use.
Such concerns as Key's unique recording feature allows parents to playback any internet session. PG Key puts the "parent in the room" even when they can't be there. It's like breaching your child's privacy. Available for $59.95 at www.PGKEY.com
My question here is, what prevents the child or teen from just unplugging the PG key from the unit?

Thank you for writing this.
Once PG Key is installed, it MUST be in for the kid to use the computer. If the key is pulled, the computer is suspended. No work is lost.
It's just like a key for a car.
Some parents are ok with kids having a lot of privacy online, some don't want them to have any.
PG Key gives parents the choice depending on their kid.
Thanks,
PG Key support
