We have some safety tips for families whose children use the internet. These tips are for both parents and children and are designed to protect our youngsters from on-line predators. Published reports indicate that the average child molester reached 100 victims before being caught. If someone "on-line" tries to lure a child to a face-to-face meeting, the police should be notified.
Tips for Preventing On-line Predators
-
Don't let children have a computer in their own room, or at least make sure the screen faces the door.
- Search for secret e-mail addresses children may have obtained at: http://www.four11.com or http://www.lycos.com
-
-
Never use ages, birthdays, graduation years or other personal information in screen names.
-
Never give out a phone number or even call anyone collect (your number will appear on their phone bill)
-
If anyone tries to arrange a face-to-face meeting, call the Police at once.
