TO HELP PROTECT YOUR CHILD Don't let your child wear clothing with his or her name on it. A child will tend to pay attention to anyone calling him or her by name. Videotape and take photos of your child two or three times per year, including profile shots. Do not leave a child unattended while shopping, visiting with neighbors or friends, or running errands. Under no circumstances should you leave a child alone in a car or truck. Make sure your child always checks with you before going anywhere with anyone. Make sure your child learns his or her address and phone number at an early age. A second phone number of a friend or relative is also helpful. Teach your child how to make a collect phone call, and to begin with "Operator...I'm in trouble; I need your help." If your child is a latch-key kid, make sure that he or she knows to keep all doors and windows locked, never let anyone know that he or she is alone, and never let anyone in the house, not even someone claiming to be a police officer or from the fire department. Those kinds of professionals know to forcibly enter in case of an emergency. Have your child fingerprinted (SafeSam ID-Kits are available from Child Search Know whether your child is left or right handed.

Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet Families Meeting the Challenge Family and Consumer Sciences Campbell Hall 1787 Neil Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43210 Families Meeting the Challenge of Going Online HYG-5166-96 Marge Wolford American families face many challenges as the information age continually infuses our society with new computer technology. Because using computers will be a way of life for our children, we need to help them learn how to use them safely. "Literacy" for the Information Age In the past, people became literate by reading, listening to words, and speaking with others. Today, information comes through electronic media messages and images. For children to be media literate, today and into next century, they must be able to interpret words, sounds, and images from a variety of electronic media sources, including the Internet. Computers are an important learning tool for children. Teaching Children to Be Responsible Parents must teach their children to learn to use new technology responsibly. Give children clear directions for completing a task, as well as time to learn and integrate new skills. Direct children's work on home computers and allow them to work alone as soon as they have learned to accept responsibility for using the computer and online services. Family "Surfing" Plan consciously for a specific time to go online and include everyone in the family. This could work for young children as well as teenagers. For example, two to three times a week could be designated as family "surf the net" time. Decide how much time will be spent and stick to a schedule, assuming that you can access the Net without technical difficulty. Set limits on how much time you will spend online. You might limit preschoolers to less time than older children, and make the limits realistic for your family's financial situation.

Home Internet Safety Online Child Safety Safe Search Sites Safe Shopping Online Fraud ... Internet Safety Lectures We live in a day and age of technological marvel: computers, the Internet, cellular communication, satellite TV and the list goes on. And the speed at which these technologies are developing is simply astounding: things become "old" not in years or decades, but in weeks and months. Children see this change as the natural order of things and embrace it; many adults can barely keep up. As with many things, those exposed to new concepts at a young age are at a distinct advantage. Perhaps the most revolutionary of these "new" technologies is the Internet. With a click of a button, people can learn about everything from nuclear physics to fly fishing in the Rockies. There is little you can't find on-line if you have the mind to. But the Internet allows for more than the retrieval of information, it can be used to communicate too. Email, chat rooms, instant messaging and news groups are but some of the ways that people "talk" to each other on-line. The Internet, as it is, is an incredible resource for adults and children alike. However, it is not without it's dangers. As in the real world, the virtual world of the Internet is composed of a cross-section of people from our society: many are well meaning, helpful and friendly - and some are not. Frequent the Internet often enough and you will come into contact with unbalanced individuals, con artists and even child predators. For this reason it is incumbent upon parents to become familiar with computers and the Internet and keep a watchful eye on their children's time on-line.

26. Internet Safety Just like any safety issue, it s a good idea to talk with your kids about Spend time online together to teach your child appropriate online behavior. http://kidshealth.org/parent/positive/family/net_safety.html

KidsHealth Parents Positive Parenting Family Life The Internet can be a wonderful resource for kids. They can use it to research school reports, communicate with teachers and other kids, and play interactive games. Any child who is old enough to punch in a few letters on the keyboard can literally access the world. But that access can also pose hazards to your children. For example, your 8-year-old might log on to a search engine and type in the word "Lego." But with just one missed keystroke, he or she might enter the word "Legs" instead, and be directed to thousands of websites with a focus on legs - some of which may contain pornographic material. That's why it's important to be aware of what your children see and hear on the Internet, who they meet, and what they share about themselves online. Just like any safety issue, it's a good idea to talk with your kids about your concerns, take advantage of resources to protect them from potential dangers, and keep a close eye on their activities. Internet Safety Laws A federal law has been created to help protect your kids while they are using the Internet. It is designed to keep anyone from obtaining your kids' personal information without you knowing about it and agreeing to it first.

Surf the Web with your child, letting him or her lead your exploration together (if your child is experienced enough). Visit some sites for children together. Teach your child that other people are using the Web just as you are, and explain that it's hard to tell whether they're telling the truth about themselves. Discuss with your child the potentially harmful topics that could show up on the Web, such as violence, hate material and pornography. Warn your child not to give out personal information over the Internet, send pictures of himself or herself, or meet someone in person without your permission.

Hotlines Keeping your child safe on-line Children are often better with computers than their parents. They may learn to use the Internet (go on-line) at school. Remember when they go on-line, children reach the outside world. Unless a filtering system is fitted (to block rude words and pictures for example), children can easily see rude pictures and violence as well as lots of useful and fun sites. And children can talk to strangers, especially through chat rooms. There is a risk, just as in the street, that someone who could do harm will try to approach them. Teach them never to go and meet anyone from the Internet unless you go too. Tell them not to give away their address or school name. Here are some safety tips to print off and stick to the computer:- It's a really bad idea to meet someone from the Internet - unless your parent or carer goes with you, in a public place. Remember, people can pretend on-line, no-one can see them.

Return to Public Safety Home Search Public Safety Parking Office Fleet Office FAS Division Home Child Safety With the increasing number of child abduction reports publicized recently via the media, safety of children is a growing concern for families. The Federal Bureau of Investigation actually shows that the number of stranger abductions has declined over the past two years. However, most abductors are relatives of the person abducted (AP, July 2002). Supervision is the best first-line defense for our children; but we can't always be with them especially as they get older. Education about safety and awareness should be an ongoing process. Education Teach your kids not to talk to strangers. Teach your child to be suspicious if someone stops in their car to ask directions or ask for help locating a missing pet or child; adults looking for such information generally look for another adult. Teach your children not to go near someone and to get an adult, or to call 911 if they are concerned about someone.

Most of these FAQs have been collected from various locations around on the internet and brought together here as reference for parents, teachers, librarians, child care workers, in short anybody interested in ensuring the safety of children as they use the internet. It is not intended to be a definitive source of all internet related safety information, but rather a central repository of the most common questions that arise.

There are some people that use chat rooms or Instant Messenger programs to make inappropriate contact with children. How do Internet filters work?

The Internet is a global, decentralized network of computers taking advantage of common protocols permitting the transfer of information. No individual, company or government controls the Internet. The most frequently used areas of the Internet are the World Wide Web, e-mail, USENET newsgroups, FTP, and the IRC. The World Wide Web is the multimedia area of the Internet. A WWW page can look like a magazine page. WWW browsers permit users to view text, photographs, and video. Individuals can also access audio, data, andprograms. WWW sites can be found by typing a few key words into a search engine and, with in seconds, receiving a list of sites containing those words. Punch in the word "playboy" and you will get a list of the "Playboy Magazine" web pages and of other sites that have a link to the "Playboy" site. FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. FTP sites aredirectories of files of all types. These files can be in any form and can be found with search engines. The difference from the WWW is that FTP is not multimedia; the files must be downloaded and then viewed or used through the appropriate software programs.

Home Protecting Your Children Online Elizabeth Bowles, President Aristotle.net Parents should keep in mind that while the Internet is a wonderful tool for learning and research, it is not a place for children to be left unsupervised. You would not drop your children off downtown in a major city alone, and you shouldn't leave them to surf the Internet alone. While constant supervision is best, it isn't always practical, so you should educate your children on what not to do on the Internet: Predators will often enter chat rooms where children are likely to congregate and attempt to "lure" one of them into a private chat room where they can begin their seduction. Tell your child that he or she should never enter a private chat room with a person he or she does not know. Impress upon your child that chat room conversations do not equal "knowing" the person he or she is chatting with. Predators will often disguise their true identities. Children should be told that they must never post their personal information - such as their real name, address, and email address - to a bulletin board or in a chat room.
