-
Use
the Internet with your child. Be involved at all times in your child's
online activities-talk to them about online safety.
-
Learn
about and use Parental Controls, and set `ground rules' for online behavior.
-
Know
at all times who your child is taking to online, and what Web sites they
visit.
-
Put
your child's computer in a `family' area of the house, and never in the
child's room.
-
Be
sure to report conduct or material that is offensive to your ISP; if
it is threatening, report it to local law enforcement.
-
Teach
your child never to plan a face-to-face meeting with online friends, and to
tell you if they are asked to meet someone offline.
For
Kids
-
Never
give out your name, home address, age, phone number or school name-or any
personal information-to strangers online.

Don't
give out your password to anyone, either online or offline.

someone says or does something online that makes you feel unsafe or
uncomfortable, tell an adult right away.
