For Parents, By Parents
GuardChild was founded by a team of parents concerned by the explosion of news reports about child predators frequenting Internet Chat Rooms and exploiting children and the increase in cyber bulling. We realized a need for a ‘one stop’ holistic website where parents could gather to share their knowledge and experiences, educate themselves about Internet safety, and review and purchase the latest Parental Control and Cell/Mobile Phone Software.
The president of GuardChild, Michael Cafarelli has more than twenty years of experience in technology, criminal justice, and working with at-risk-youth, and families. He is an advocate for child Internet safety and provides workshops and presentations to parents, children and educators about Online Safety. He is well aware of the benefits and dangers the Internet holds for children and is i-SAFE certified. Mr. Cafarelli believes that Internet safety education and parental control software are necessary to make the Internet a fun, safe place for children. His goal is to help parents and educators protect children from cyber bullies, sexual predators, cyber-harassment, cyber stalking, sexting, pornography, drug abuse, illegal downloads (P-2-P) and to protect families from identity theft and cyber crime.

A Message from the President of GuardChild
We hope you found our site educational and valuable in gaining a better understanding about the issues of child online safety. We also hope you decide to purchase software and become a member of our community. If you do not, we appreciate you visiting our site. However, we strongly urge you to purchase child-monitoring software (keylogger) or cell phone spyware (spy phone software) and increase your awareness of what your child is doing on the Internet and their cell phones, either with us or through another site. Leaving a child alone with an unprotected computer or cell phone is equivalent to leaving a child alone on a playground. You’ve read the statistics that show what can happen when kids are not supervised online – you know the dangers. Protect your child.
Our goal is to ensure that you and your family are protected from sexual predators, cyber bullying, sexting and identity theft. We want you to be armed with the knowledge of how your children communicate (Chat/Text/Sexting Acronyms), to increase your understanding about the Internet, and we want you to find safe, fun, and educational sites for you and your family.
We hope you’ll return to our site and make use of all the free resources available to you. Once again, thanks for visiting with us.
Regards,
Michael Cafarelli
