[Is Your Family "Switched On?"](http://bit.ly/1aiUtWx)

According to the [2012 Norton Online Family Report](http://uk.norton.com/cybercrimereport/promo), in 2011 58 percent of kids experienced something negative online, and four fifths of kids (87 percent) who’ve broken Internet house rules experienced something negative online. Additionally, a recent article from Symantec not-for-profit partner [Get Safe Online (GSO)](https://www.getsafeonline.org/) shows that while 39 percent of parents of 12-15 year olds use the browser's history function to see which websites their child has visited, 42 percent of children aged 12-15 said they know how to delete website histories, and 19 percent have done so in the last year.

The fact is children are spending more time online, they are getting savvier, and in many cases they can easily outsmart parental guidelines and house rules.
