Child Safety on the
Internet
We
encourage parents to print out the following and keep it near
their PC. Review it with your children, and make sure they
understand the rules.
I will not
give out personal information such as my address, telephone
number, parent's work address/telephone number, or the name
and location of my school without my parent's permission.
I will
tell my parents right away if I come across any information
that makes me feel uncomfortable.
I will
never agree to get together with someone I "meet" online
without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to
the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and
bring my mother or father along.
I will
never send a person my picture or anything else without first
checking with my parents.
I will not
respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me
feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like
that. If I do, I will tell my parents right away so that they
can contact the online service.
I will
talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going
online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be
online, the length of time I can be online, and appropriate
areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break
these rules without their permission.
