Whether you are new to the internet or use it often,
there are important things to remember.
The Internet is a great place to visit,
but like any trip you take you will want to make certain
it’s safe.
Kids' Rules for Online Safety
- I will not give out personal
information such as my address, telephone number,
parents’ work address/telephone
number, or the name and location of my school without
my parents’ 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 service provider.
- 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.
- I will not give out my Internet password to anyone
(even my best friends) other than my parents.
- I will check with my parents
before downloading or installing software or doing
anything that could possibly hurt our computer
or jeopardize my family’s
privacy
- I will be a good online citizen and not do anything
that hurts other people or is against the law.
- I will help my parents understand how to have fun
and learn things online and teach them things about
the Internet, computers and other technology.
