Kid’s 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.
