How to protect children from online predators
Some tips about how to protect children from online predators:
• Create your own computer rules or print the Internet safety pledge.
• Always read a web site’s privacy policy before giving any personal information. Also make sure that a website offers a secure connection before giving credit-card information.
• Websites for children are not permitted to request personal information without a parent’s permission. Talk to children about what personal information is and why you should never give it to people online.
• If children use chat or e-mail, talk to them about never meeting in person with anyone they first "met" online.
• Talk to children about not responding to offensive or dangerous e-mail, chat or other communications. Report any such communication to local law enforcement. Do not delete the offensive or dangerous e-mail; turn off the monitor, and contact local law enforcement.
• Keep the computer in the family room or another open area of your home.
• Get informed about computers and the Internet. Visit the resources section to find additional information on Internet safety.
• Let children show you what they can do online, and visit their favorite sites.
• Have children use child-friendly search engines when completing homework.
• Know who children are exchanging e-mail with, and only let them use chat areas when you can supervise.
• Be aware of any other computers your child may be using.
• Consider using filtering or monitoring software for your computer.
