Online Safety Tips

Talk with your child about safety and personal boundaries, and post these guidelines by the computer:

  • Personal information shouldn’t be shared online — that includes address, phone number, e-mail address, school name, or information about friends.
  • Passwords are private — just parents and kids can share.
  • Use the privacy settings of social networking sites.
  • Only communicate online with “real life” friends and family. Never meet face-to-face with someone you met online.
  • Remember that EVERYONE can see what you post. Don’t post inappropriate pictures.
  • Say something if anything or anyone makes you feel uncomfortable.
