10 Safety Rules for Children’s Internet Use By: Adrian E. Owenby
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.
