Rules For
On-Line Safety
- I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We
will decide on the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be
online, and appropriate web sites for me to visit. If I want to visit other web
sites, I will get their permission first.
- While I'm online, I will not give out personal information such as my
address, telephone number, parents' work addresses/telephone numbers, or the
name of my school without my parents' permission.
- I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information that
makes me feel uncomfortable.
- 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 online service.
- 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 I will bring a parent or my adult guardian
along.
- While I'm online, I will never send a person my picture or anything else
without first checking with my parents.
