We Are Moms Against the 'Net

Welcome!

We are a coalition of parents and community leaders, united against the threat of computers in our local communities. As we have seen from recent news stories and Hollywood cautionary tales such as Wargames and Hackers, computers both represent and enable a terrible threat for the wellness of the minds of America's youth.

Recent Victories

After a successful campaign, thanks to members like you, we have managed to pass dozens of acts throughout 36 states, and the Computing and American Safety Compliance Act of 1985 through Congress.

How Can I Help?

Computer use is now regulated to safe and responsible revenues: businesses, universities, and a few... enterprising local highschools. But until we're able to remove the last pieces of hardware from our community, here are some ways you can keep your children safe:

• Keep an Eye On Your Children
Is your son or daughter disappearing for long periods of time? Have they been using unfamiliar slang? Are there new friends at home who you just don't like the look of? They could be on line.
• Monitor Your Phone Bill
We all know how much teens love talking on the phone, but suspiciously high bills could mean illicit internet use. Our phone service providers monitor our phone levels for suspect levels of activity, but watchful vigilance is always a must! It's much better to have a conversation with your teen than wait for them to have a conversation with a cop.
• Watch Out for Your Neighbors
Underground computer saloons are a scourge on our safety and our children. If you see something, report it.
