“C’mon, we had porn in our day, and it didn’t hurt us!”
“Aren’t you being a little too protective?”

PREDATORS:
The guy…or gal…next door or online

Many of my posts have dealt with issues surrounding the Internet, pornography, and Christian sexuality. These are all related.
Another related topic is that of ONLINE PREDATORS.
When parents consider predator threats they often make a few dangerous assumptions:

Securing Your Child’s iPhone or iPod Touch

The Apple iPhone and iPod Touch are very popular devices.
I own a Touch, myself. It does lots of things for me:

Keeps me straight on my schedule
Holds all my contacts
Has pictures of my kids
