Online Safety for kids



Kids' Rules for Online Safety
1.
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.
2.
I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.
3.
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.
4.
I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.
5.
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.
6.
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.
7.
I will not give out my Internet password to anyone (even my best friends) other than my parents.
8.
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
9.
I will be a good online citizen and not do anything that hurts other people or is against the law.
10.
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.
