"Technology Used By Law Enforcement to Catch Cyber Criminals Now Available to Parents to Protect Kids Online"

Watch Right is an easy-to-use software application that empowers parents to monitor the behavior of their children on the Internet. Unlike filtering and blocking software, Watch Right is a parental awareness software.

Internet crime is growing fast, and children are the fastest growing victim pool. At the recent White House Conference on Missing and Exploited Children, President Bush remarked, "In one year alone, one in five children between the ages of 10 and 17 received a sexual solicitation over
the Internet."    

Watch Right, a new software that works on AOL and AIM, is not filtering software, but a sophisticated, easy-to-use application
that empowers parents to monitor the behavior of their children on the Internet. The software monitors and records for review by the
parent all: instant messages, chat room sessions, email, web sites visited, and message board interactions. The software cannot be accessed, disabled or removed without the password that resides in the possession of the parent.

James Doyle, President of Internet Crimes Inc., believes parents should take advantage of monitoring tools at home. "The Internet is just like the real world. There are bad neighborhoods
and good neighborhoods. Parents need to know what can happen and that bad people are coming into their homes. And now the same technology we use to catch cyber criminals is available in Watch Right."

Connie, an east coast mom who prefers anonymity, installed the software because she noticed her daughter had been spending all of
her time on the computer, using IM and was hanging around with a whole new group of kids. "Someone at work told me about the software
and I installed it. I became aware of some behavior that was leading my daughter into trouble and I was able to get her some professional help before something terrible happened."

Bob DeMarco, CEO of IP Group, and marketing partner for Watch Right says, "Our position in this industry is unique. Our PowerTools
software is used by the FBI, Department of Justice, and every Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force in the U.S. The
same reliable recording technology used in PowerTools is now available for parents to use in the home. The difference is the Watch Right monitoring panel can only be used by the parent, and was developed after hundreds of hours of feedback from law enforcement officials and parents."

Watch Right offers a free 10-day trial of its software. The program is easy to install, easy to use and can be downloaded
at http://www.watchright.com.
