Children Protecting Yourself Online

Top Ten Safety Rules for Children’s Internet Use

Rule 1

Always ask your parents' permission

before using your full name, address,

telephone number or school name

anywhere on the Internet.

Rule 2

Always tell your parents or guardian if

you see something online that you know

is wrong or that makes you feel

uncomfortable.

Rule 3

Don't respond to messages that make

you feel uncomfortable or uneasy.

Rule 4

Never give out a credit card number or

password online.

Rule 5

Never send out your picture without

your parents' permission.

Rule 6

Be careful when someone offers you

something for nothing, such as gifts or

money.

Rule 7

Never arrange to meet someone you've

met online in person unless you discuss

it with your parents and an adult goes

with you.

Rule 8

Get to know your ‘online friends’ just

as you get to know all of your other

friends. Be sure that your parents

know and trust them before giving out

any personal information about

yourself via email.

You should NOT use your real last

name while you are on-line, especially if

it is unusual.
