Lilsugar is a website for moms. It publishes resources on parenting, pregnancy, rasing children, health, fashion and other information that might help mothers. I particularly enjoyed this website because unlike other websites it does not try to scare mommies of the bad things that could happen to them or their young ones. Instead it focuses more on better living and creates a positive feeling among the readers. The website also publishes links to other websites on similar topics and is very useful as well as entertaining.

This software also monitors chats and is looking for keywords that might hint of a possible alert situation. It does sound like a little too paranoid but its better to be safe than sorry.
