Safety Resources for Children and Parents
-Tell
your parents immediately if you come across something
that makes you feel uncomfortable.
-Remember that people on the Internet may not be who they
seem. Never give out identifying information such as your
name, home address, school name, or telephone number in
a public message such as in a chat room or on a bulletin
board.
-People who are dangerous may represent themselves on-line
as a young boy or girl in order to entice you to a face-to-face
meeting.
-You should never arrange a face-to-face meeting without
first asking a parent. If a parent agrees, you should
meet in a public place with your parent accompanying you.
Be careful when someone offers you something for nothing.
-Be very careful about any offers that involve you coming
to a meeting or have someone visit your home.
-Always get to know your on-line friends just as you would
get to know all of your friends.
-Never send your picture without first asking a parent.
-Never respond to messages or items that are suggestive,
obscene, belligerent, threatening, or make you feel uncomfortable.
-Be sure that you are dealing with someone you and your
parents know and trust before giving out any personal
information about yourself.
-Diligent parental supervision will help ensure your safety
on the Internet. |
