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