Internet Safety Tips For Kids

• Teach your kids never to give out personal information, unless supervised by a parent or responsible adult. Personal information includes the child's photo, name, age, gender, address, phone number, school, sports clubs, and so on.


• Know the Web sites your kids are visiting and determine which sites are appropriate. If the site doesn't meet with your approval, don't be afraid to say NO to your child. Your child may not like it, but he or she will be safe.


• Never permit kids or teens to access the Internet behind locked doors. Always monitor your child's online activities. You may trust your kids, but you CANNOT trust the unscrupulous people and marketers they encounter online who will use cunning methods to deceive them.


• Look for a Web site's Privacy Policy and/or Child Privacy Policy and read it carefully. Know how your child's information is treated.
