SAFETY |

| -
Keep the computer in a common space, like the family room or den. - Don’t share your password with anyone else and never give out your real name, address, age, school, phone number, photo or other personal information. - Check with your parents before signing up for anything online or giving out a credit card number. - Never agree to meet someone you met on the Internet in person without your parent’s permission. Never meet anyone you met online alone or in an isolated place. Meet in a public place and go with your parents or an adult you trust. - If someone on line asks too many personal questions, be suspicious and stop talking to them. - Always remember that people on line may not be who they say they are. Treat everyone online as though they were strangers. - If you receive unwanted, offensive, mean, threatening, or harassing e-mail, do not respond to it. Tell your parents or an adult you trust. - Remember, not everything you read on the Internet is true. - The ‘off’ button is always there. Use it if you need to. You don’t have to stay online. |
