Online Saftey

http://www.techcorps.org/resources/internetsafety/getnet.htm

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.

EX: Giving out to much information will make stalking and everything else happen more.

2. I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.

EX: Some people will tell me information that would try and make me do stuff for them or come and find them.

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.

EX: Bringing a parent or guardian will help you not get taken away with that person that wants to meet you, and being in a public place will be better because of all the people there.

4. I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.

EX: Because then they will probably find out where you live and then they will ask around then find you to take you somewhere with them.

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.

EX: If you do reply to it then they will think that you dont mind and then they will keep messaging you the same stuff like everyday.

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.

EX: Always ask to get online if you have ever been messaged things like that so that it dont happen that much anymore.

7. I will not give out my Internet password to anyone (even my best friends) other than my parents.

EX: Because then your friends can get on your internet then talk to the people that message you and then give out the wrong information and then they will know where you live and then they will stalk you.

8. I will be a good online citizen and not do anything that hurts other people or is against the law.

EX: Dont use violent language or anything else that will offend anyone so that you dont get in trouble.
