SHLP News SearchHelp Receives Endorsement by Long Island Professional Education Network; Child Advocacy Group Lauds SearchHelp's Effort to Educate Parents about Online Risks to Children
SYOSSET, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 24, 2006--SearchHelp, Inc., (OTCBB: SHLP), a leading developer of award-winning, web-based child security software, has received the endorsement of the Long Island Professional Education Network ("LIPEN"), a consulting/advocacy group focused on social issues impacting children. This endorsement follows the receipt of the "Outstanding Product" award given to the company's "Sentry Remote(TM)" software by iParenting Media (www.iparentingmedia.com).
Founded in 1990, The Long Island Professional Education Network (www.lipen.org) is dedicated to creating a safe and respectful school environment for children. The organization focuses on educating parents, school administrators and teachers about serious issues affecting school-aged children including bullying and hazing to sexual harassment. LIPEN's co-directors, Ms. Roni Benson, a trustee of the Nassau County Youth Board, and Ms. Ginger Lieberman, Commissioner of Child Care for the Nassau County Legislature, are among the nation's foremost experts on the subject, routinely conducting nationwide workshops, symposia and lectures for school staff, students, parents, and community leaders. Benson and Lieberman are also the authors of "Bully Frog", winner of the 2004 Legacy Book Award, the first in a series of children's books on character education. Their third and latest book is due out this spring.
Ms. Ginger Lieberman, Co-Director of The Long Island Professional Education Network, commented: "LIPEN was founded to help parents and those responsible for young children understand the potential dangers they face today. We applaud SeachHelp in its ongoing efforts to provide parents with the kind of tools and technology necessary for protecting children from online threats and for their commitment to advance the awareness of these risks. Furthermore, it is clear that SearchHelp understands the risks and is designing its products to help parents engage in constructive interaction with their children, something uncommon in the software security market."
Bill Bozsnyak, CEO of SearchHelp, Inc., said: "The Long Island Professional Education Network is an extremely valuable resource for parents and educators in dealing with the numerous anti-social pitfalls that now confront our children. We are pleased to receive their endorsement and look forward to working with LIPEN on elevating the education of parents about issues impacting the lives of their young children."
SearchHelp's 'Sentry' line of security software provides real-time alerts and information, allowing parents to pro-actively monitor their children's online activities no matter where they happen to be. This is a significant advance over more traditional passive "block and filter" computer technology that only limits a child's exposure to objectionable content including pornography.
With SearchHelp's 'Sentry' products, parents receive instant email or visual alerts on their computers or PDAs and SMS text messages to their cell phones when questionable online activity occurs. These include suspicious instant messages or conversations requesting private or personal information as well as attempts to access inappropriate or pornographic material. With 'Sentry Remote,' the company's newest product, parents can see all activities conducted on the child's computer and directly interact with their children in real-time. If necessary, the parent can quickly terminate the application or lock down the computer.
The complete line of "Sentry" child protection products is currently available at nationwide retailers including CompUSA, OfficeMax, Fry's Electronics, Meijer stores or online at www.searchhelp.com. For more details, call (888) 647-6525 (toll free) or visit SearchHelp's website.
