Press Release Summary: "Cases that involve children who have been affected by online
predators and other potentially harmful material are a lot more common than most
people like to believe."

Press Release Body:
BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA: In light of Child Safety Week it has become evident that the
number of children and adolescents falling victim to the dangers of the internet is
rapidly increasing. Due to the lack of time for supervising Internet activities and
not using Internet filters, an alarming number of children are being exposed to
unsuitable materials and online predators.

Australian company, Race River has developed the most reliable and technologically
advanced internet filter Integard to ensure the safety of both children and
adolescents whilst 'surfing the net'.

The filtering software blocks inappropriate websites and monitors chat conversations
to track any sign of 'grooming' by online predators and other suspicious behaviour
so parents can be alerted of any potential problems.

Race River spokesperson, Mr Daniel Millerson said that there is a lack of awareness
when it comes to the harsh realities that children can be faced with whilst online.

"Cases that involve children who have been affected by online predators and other
potentially harmful material are a lot more common than most people like to
believe." Mr Millerson said.

"However, together with an increase of parental supervision and content filters, the
internet will soon become a safer place for children and adolescents." Mr Millerson
continued.

Throughout Child Safety Week 23-29 June 2008, both French and English Integard can
be ordered or downloaded for 50% off its original price.
