The Parents Top 10 Tips To
Online Safety
1. Teach your children to
never give out personal information online which includes: name,
address, phone number, school, sport teams they play on, fields
where they practice, etc.
2. Set reasonable rules and guidelines for your children
before they venture out on the Internet. Discuss these rules
and post them near the computer as a reminder.
3. Keep your computer in an open area (rather than a bedroom)
and monitor your children's Internet use.
4. Review their screen name(s) and see if they reveal
too much information that may tip off a predator and, if so,
make the appropriate changes. Make sure you turn on the feature
to save history for all Instant Message and chat programs used
by your children.
5. Make any "Social Networking Site Profile" private,
review and screen your children's friends/buddy list! Make 100%
sure that these are real friends.
6. Surf with your children and explain to them the proper
Internet etiquette.
7. Convince your children to come to you if ANYTHING happened
that make the "feel uncomfortable" or they know they
experienced something that you would find "inappropriate".
Assure them they will not lose their Internet privileges by coming
to you when something like this happens.
8. Contact local law enforcement if you are ever contacted
by a stranger or your children are solicited in any manner. Do
not delete any emails and chat session as these may be evidence
needed by law enforcement.
9. Get educated about the Internet dangers and perils
and sit down and discuss these issues with your child and ask
them to show you what sites they like and what they like to do
online.
10. Install Internet Filter and Parental Control software
on your computer and/or configure the software that you already
have on your computer. |
