Guide to Internet Safety
"Our children are our Nation's most valuable asset. They represent the bright future of our country and hold our hopes for a better Nation.

FBI Quoted from the web site. |

Safety on the Information Highway
This is a helpful article by SafeKids.com. "This is the classic and first widely distributed Internet safety article, written first in 1993 and revised several times up until 2003. While much of the information is timeless, some is now out-of-date, especially for parents of teenagers who are using interactive “web 2.0? services like MySpace, Facebook and other social networking sites. Please realize that any advice varies by the age of the child, the values of the family and changes in technology. For up-to-date advice for teens, visit our sister sites ConnectSafely.org and SafeTeens.com." Quoted from the web site. |
