The Internet can be wonderful for kids. They can use it to conduct research for class assignments, communicate with teachers and classmates, and play interactive educational games. However, online access also comes with risks like inappropriate content, cyberbullying, and online predators.
Here are a few safety tips to remember while online:
-Never reveal personal information such as address, telephone number, school name, or location.
-Never share passwords (other than with parents)
-Never post or trade personal pictures.
-Never agree to get together in person with anyone you have met online without parent approval and supervision.
-Never respond to a threatening email, message, post, or text.
-Always tell a parent or trust adult if something you see or read online makes you feel uncomfortable.
