Jordan Voight: Teenage Years

Internet Dangers

Jordan- 13

Now that Jordan is thirteen she has been begging her father for her very own laptop, he was against it. He knew the dangers of the internet and he wasn't taking a chance with his little girl.

"Come on dad, please! All the other kids my age has one". Jordan pleaded with her father.

"I'm not other kids parent". Hank said, stirring pasta in a pot.

"I won't do anything on it dad, I promise. It'll mainly be for school work. I promise. Please".

Jordan then pulled the puppy dog eyes, she had this technique down perfectly. Hank glanced at his daughter he tried to avoid the look, she and Justin were probably the only people who can make him cave with that look.

"I'll think about it".

"That's not a no".

"It's not a yes or a no, it's an I'll think about it".

Over the next couple weeks, Jordan wouldn't drop the subject and she always used the puppy dog look. After a lot of time and convincing Hank bought his daughter a laptop but he was gonna have Mouse install some stuff first. He brought it to the District after he bought it he walked upstairs and everyone saw the purple laptop box in his arm.

"Got a new laptop Sarge?" Antonio asked with a chuckle.

"It's for Jo, Mouse I need you". Hank spoke.

"Yes, sir". Mouse replies.

He followed Hank to his office and waited, Hank sat down putting the box on his desk.

"You needed me, Sarge".

"Yeah. I got Jo a laptop, I need you to set up the web protection stuff and all that. Make sure she can't get on any unsafe sites. No chat rooms, nothing unsafe".

"Yes, sir".

Hank then slid the box to him so he could get started, the tech took the box and got started to set it up. He put in every computer protection there is, he made sure only safe sites were allowed, there wasn't any access to chat rooms or any of it. The laptop was safe for Jordan.

Once Mouse had finished with the laptop he brought it back to Hank. "All done Sarge, it's completely protected. Nobody can hack in. It has every web protection there is. She can't get into any unsafe site, no chat rooms. Jo has the safest computer ever".

"Thanks, Mouse".

"No problem".

Later that evening Hank and Jordan were eating dinner, Jordan cleared the table and put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher. The older father then brought out the box, he asked Erin to wrap it for Jordan.

"Jo, come here sweetheart". Hank called.

"Yes, dad". Jordan came back.

He slid the box to her. "Open it".

"What is it?" She probably knew the answer.

"Open it".

Jordan opened it and squealed as she saw the laptop, she ran around and hugged her father.

"Thank you, daddy! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Hold on there will be ground rules".

"But dad".

"No buts or I can take it back".

"Ok".

"First, any school work you have must be done first. Second, there will be no unsafe or inappropriate sites, that includes chat rooms. Third, it is to stay in the living room so I can see you. It isn't to go into any other room in the house. Fourth, you are not to use the webcam at all for any reason. Fifth, don't be giving out personal information of any kind. You break any of these rules it will be taken. Do you understand me?"
