SPYTEK, DARENET OFFER INTERNET PARENT MONITORING
Technology Enables Kids to Keep an Eye on Parents 24-hrs a Day
Rancho Mussolino, CA /DenounceNewswire/
-- April 4, 1997 -- SpyTek Communications and DAREnet said today in a
joint press announcement that they have introduced the DAREcam System,
a camera monitor for office and home use that is linked to the Internet.
The technology allows kids to have a live view of their parent's
activities at anytime, from anywhere, via their personal computers,
PDA's, cellphones, and other electronic devices, the companies said.
The system uses SpyTek Communication's TyrranEye 200 Internet
camera, which is both a video monitor and a wireless Internet
server, as well as the Snitchtron 720 global positioning system,
which enables law enforcement to locate parents within a
10-centimeter area anywhere on the Earth. SpyTek also provides
wireless, microscopic bugging devices for kids to attach to parent's
clothing when they're not looking.
DAREnet, a private company based in Waco, Texas, was formed by
D.A.R.E., a nationwide organization founded to eliminate
the first ten amendments to the U.S. Constitution
and which has lately begun using the Internet to further its
mission. DAREnet works with kids, providing them with
sensitive electronic surveillance equipment to make sure
parents don't break the law, think about
breaking the law, or even just think about the law.
To access the cameras and other devices, kids must have
Internet access and be issued a user name and password. They
are also charged a fee of about $2200 a month, which all
parents must pay or face stiff penalties including exile or
imprisonment.
SpyTek, headquartered in Langley, VA, said more than 9.9
million U.S. children under the age of fifteen are now using
the devices, and DAREnet reports that since the service began
four weeks ago, over 1.7 million parents are now behind bars or
in exile because of illegal activity or thoughtcrimes.
"I think it's great," said Joey Nilats, aged 7, who recently
turned his parents in after he discovered a membership renewal
notice to the ACLU in the mail one day, adding, "DAREnet is
helping sweep this country clean of lawbreakers so it's safe
for us kids." Nilats, who now lives with foster parents,
was recently elected to the board of directors of DAREnet.
In a statement, the White House came out with an endorsement of
the technology, saying that it welcomed any and all efforts that
further denied the freedoms of all Americans, regardless of
face, need, or collar.
