Parents can rely on the same common sense rules they use to protect themselves and their children already.
If you want to meet all of your children's playmates and wouldn't let them talk to strangers on the street...
...Then you will want to "meet" their online friends and
set rules about talking to strangers online.
If you don't want your children to give out personal information about your family in a public place...
...Then you won't want your children to give out
personal information online. You would want to know
who is asking for the information and how it will be
used.
If you don't allow your children to send and receive mail from strangers...
...Then you won't want them to enter chat rooms or
use e-mail with strangers.
If you don't allow your children to go into a store to shop by themselves in an unfamiliar city...
...Then you won't allow them to make unsupervised puchases online.
If you don't want your children to purchase a product or service on the phone without knowing if a company or business is legitimate...
...Then you won't want them to make uninformed
purchases over the Internet.
Count on your own common sense to make your Internet experiences safe and secure. Click here for Family-Friendly Internet Tips.
