With one message: Teaching Parents The How-To’s Of Daily Online Security & Safety

Bill is a father of 3 children and his wife’s name is Anissa. Bill’s love for his family has been the driving force behind his success over the last few years, and he has been actively been pursuing his passion of becoming an online entrepreneur.

When I created my online personality Your Online Security Authority over 6 years ago, we set out to change the web and how it was used and perceived by concerned parents around the world… and how they teach their children about life, and life lessons on and off the information superhighway… and I am more excited about what we are doing today… More NOW, than even in the very beginning!

I have wanted to build for a long time just one system designed solely and completely for parents in today’s media driven technology based world we all live in NOW… Our Kids are being tested, studied, manipulated and catered too… now with their iPods, Smartphones or notebook at their 24 hour day disposal and with the belief that they DERSERVE it or are somehow entitled, parents to need to take a step back evaluate their families and make some choices before it is too late for their KIDS!

That starts with Awareness, Communication and Knowledge we’ll be sharing this with parents everywhere on a weekly basis with our radio show, weekly uptdates on our KOKS blog including a very special section called (Trending with Teens) and daily, weekly on Twitter and Facebook updates that will give you quick insight now, for answers and solutions for today’s problems, that every teen, tweens and all our kids are faced with daily!

His main focus has been working and dealing with the security issues of the day, such as ID theft, Online Predators, MySpace & Teens, and Keeping Our Kids Safe with ever-growing online security issues when it comes to Internet safety and protecting families.

Mission: Keeping Our Kids Safe Radio, by Teaching Parents The How-To’s Of Daily Online Security & Safety!

Those times we have with our children going to store, riding in the car or just sitting as family and/or hanging out with our kids during activities… please use that time or at least take some time each day (25 minutes) and really talk with your kids about peer pressure they’ll be facing daily, and what you both expect over the next few years!! and most of all, please then listen!

Don’t miss the opportunity to talk to your children about Drug and Alcohol abuse… you may never get another chance before their friends say just try it, were are all doing it!!!

Probably the most dangerous drug our children will encounter is curiosity and listening to peers. The need for children to experiment or whether it be for financial gain, either way, it is a growing concern regarding the misuse of drugs.
