AIM safety - checking her history
4
Sat, 05-19-2007 - 6:31am

My DD is 10yo. she goes on AIM and chats with her friends. I believe that all the people in her address book are friends from her class only. I would like to check her history and be able to see what's going on in there. If there are any red lights.

I heard I could check on her history and see what her chats are about, but I don't know how. Does anyone out there have any experience?

Thanks!

Thanks,

Rainbow

I am not sure you can do that!

I think you have to get special software to monitor and record messages. I'm pretty sure you can't just do that thru AIM.

My kids don't use AIM much but my husband has the software in place when and if they do.

The newest versions of MSN automatically save messages when the feature is turned on. You should be able to find it under the MSN program file in your C: drive.
