spying on your kids

Sarah Payne, the government appointed Victim's Champion, is calling for parents to install snooping software on their children's computers according to The Argus.
Parents should snoop on their children's internet use to protect them from paedophiles and cyber-bullies, Sara Payne has said. The Victims' Champion called for adults to install monitoring software on computers used by youngsters, and she admitted she checks up on her own children.
I suppose that if kids get used to their activities being secretly scrutinised then they won't find the surveillance state we live in unusual.

So what happens to 12 o'clock flashers?

Are they supposed to ask their own kid to install this monitoring software! How redundant is that!

For those that don't know... 12 o'clock flashers are people that have all their appliances in their home flashing "12:00".

That's a relief, Laddie. I thought it was an excited version of the usual six-o'clock flasher.

If those parents need the kid to install it, they will also need the kid to show them how to view it.

And the kid will know how to switch it off and on ;)

I reported four chavs nicking booze early one morning back in what passed for summer from the local ethnic minority, sri lankan, offie.

Plod did the job and four chavs are doing community payback.
So all done and dusted with even a thankyou letter from plod.

Then I gets a letter from the Victims & witness crowd wanting me to authorise MORI of all companies to interview me by phone to see how well the police performed.

The caught they prosecuted what more is there to say.
Told the wankers to politely piss off.
