Internet Safety at Home

Keep the computer in a family room. Parents
can better participate and monitor their child's activities.
Consider purchasing filtering software.
Spend time with children online.
Eliminate children's personal profiles. Depending on your
local internet service, your child might have a personal
profile online that might contain information that should
not be posted.
Use parental controls to limit access. Most companies now
enable parental controls to limit certain features.
Consider making a parent-child online agreement. Children
should understand very clearly the house rules for computer use.
Recognize a problem before it becomes one. If your children
are reluctant to use the computer in your presence or have
new passwords and screen names, they may be trying to hide
personal conversations.
Know what to do if a problem arises. If your child receives
inappropriate e-mail or some similar problem occurs, save
all relevant information. Authorities can use this information
to identify those responsible. Above all, talk with your child
about the incident and seek professional counseling if necessary.
