During the set-up process, you can select the categories of words you want to search for on your child's site(s), or you can create your own list. YouDiligence continually searches your child's Facebook and/or MySpace pages for any use of the words you select. When one of those words appears on your child's page, you will immediately receive an email identifying the word, the context in which it is used, and a link to the page where it is used. Email Report Example
You also have 24/7 access to your on-line portal where you can review your notifications. Online Portal Example
Every parent has a different set of values, and we designed YouDiligence so that you can select what is right for you and your family. You can customize the words you search. You can choose if you want to go behind the "friends' only" area on your child's site. You can see what your child's friends are posting on your child's site. We provide you with the tools you need to protect your child on-line the way you see fit.
Slangspotter is a monthly e-newsletter from YouDiligence where parents can share and learn about the latest slang terms. Kids are naturally creative. They are often a few steps ahead of their parents. Slangspotter helps even the playing field. Slangspotter helps you maintain your POS position even when your kids are ducking and weaving. (POS = parent over shoulder)
Even if you are not a computer-savvy parent, we have made the set-up very easy. Just follow our step by step process.
We strongly encourage you to have an open discussion with your child about the potential dangers on social networks. Set boundaries and discuss what those boundaries are. Let your child know that you reserve the right to check out their pages should you come across something that is troubling. Encourage them to come to you if they are bullied or approached by anyone who makes them uncomfortable on their pages.
YouDiligence is a service that helps busy parents efficiently search their child's Facebook and MySpace pages without invading their privacy. Let's face it, parents are busier now that they ever have been. You may have your child's login and password or be "friended" by them on your own page - but are there days or weeks when you are too busy to search? YouDiligence offers you the comfort to know you are still able to protect your child even if you don't have the time to review their pages on a regular basis or if you happen to miss one day. It gives you, as a parent, the comfort to know that you are doing everything you can to protect your child from on-line predators and internet bullies.
Most tweens and teens don't think about the long-term consequences of posting potentially damaging items for all to see. The internet really is proving to be a digital version of the "permanent record". It is up to parents to make sure their children don't create a legacy they will regret later in life.
