Logon – have fun – stay safe

The internet is a wonderful place full of information on any topic, fun, games and interesting people. It has never been easier to communicate and interact with people around world.

Whilst this may sound utopian, the reality is that not everyone wants to use this resource for the good of society. When it comes to the internet and helping your child get the most out of it – knowledge is power and a little bit of knowledge goes a long, long way!

Life After Mindless Posts (LAMP) is an essential educational app about the potential dangers of sexting, the things that could be lurking behind the computer screen in your own child’s bedroom and how these dangers can affect your child – both mentally and physically.

Put yourself in the role of a parent with a teenage or pre-teen child using the internet unsupervised and see what can happen…

Why does this app exist?

The idea for the Life After Mindless Posts app was conceived by a concerned mother (who was also a police officer).

She was shocked by a TV report about a 40 year old man befriending a 15 year old girl by impersonating a similar aged boy online. This individual was able to gain access to the girls home (with her mothers knowledge) and ultimately and tragically ended the life of the girl. No parent should have to experience this – especially when with some knowledge it could so easily have been avoided.

After seeing this story (and reading many more like it) she felt compelled to inform people and then get them to ask – who are your kids really talking to online? Who could you be letting into your home? Do you know what your children are doing online?

The key to having a “LAMP Moment” is getting parents to think about what their kids are doing online, whilst getting kids to understand that not everyone on the internet is a friend, or even a person their own age!
