NOTICE TO PARENTS:
IT’S EASY TO MISS THE
XBOX TIMER CONTROLS
 
IT Works Corporation, creators of the EZ brand of parental control software is committed to providing software solutions and advice to assist parents to manage the time children spend on computers and limit the content children are exposed to while using computers.

Recently a 13 year old boy, who became addicted to the XBOX and on line gaming, ran away from home and has been missing for 3 weeks. The boy ran away after his parents, acting responsibly, took away his XBOX. It was the final solution for them because their son would not willingly cut down on his gaming time.

In response IT Works purchased an XBOX to determine if EZ Off could be integrated into the XBOX system allowing parents to set up a daily usage timer. We found that the system could not be altered to allow for the EZ Off timer. More importantly, we found that Microsoft, creators of the XBOX, had already built-in parental controls.

It is understandable how parents may miss this important aspect of the XBOX set up. We missed it ourselves in the rush to set it up and get it working. IT Works will be contacting Microsoft to request that the built in timer control benefits be prominently displayed on the packaging.

In the product manual titled “Volume 1, Setup” (on page 12) there is a section called “XBOX 360 FAMILY SETTINGS”. This section discusses the intentions of Microsoft to provide a positive gaming experience for the family and briefly describes the attributes of the “Family Settings”.

However, if you want further details of how to set up the “Family Settings” you must visit the XBOX Family Settings web site and view the instructions to setting up the family timer.

As parents it is our job to protect our children even if that means being at odds with them. Video games, text messaging and web surfing can all become addictive. We urge parents to limit the amount of time children are exposed to them.

My heart goes out to the parents of the Barrie, Ontario boy who’s been missing for so long, I know what you are going through. I lost my daughter online and I live with it everyday.

Sincerely Wayne Banks
President, IT Works Corporation
