Internet Safety

I wrote my paper on the topic of Internet safety for youth. I also wrote on the types of programs that are available. There are a number of programs available, that many people don't know about. Some of them are geared towards kids, while others are geared towards parents. Some offer games, videos, readings, etc., while others offer just readings.

I wanted to ask everyone what your thoughts are? Would you utilize a program, paid or free, to teach your kids about Internet safety? Would you tell other people about the programs? Do you think that safety programs should focus on parents or on kids?

  1. Hi Rachel,
    I tried Twitter but it seemed like it didn't go through, I would appreciate some one checking on this link: http://twitter.com/fcklilgirls it seems legitimate and obviously upsetting. One of the girls on twitter has a petition going to have the link removed, but it would only come up under a different heading. Please see what can be done.
    Thank You,

  2. Hi Gary,

    Interesting....I think you should consider going to the national center for missing and exploited children's website and submitting a cybertip. The site is missingkids.com. they do a great job with those kinds of links and ensuring the appropriate authorities are made aware and can take action.
