Safe computer

To stay safe when using the computer your child should know the following rules:

Safe computer rule 1:
I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents’ work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parents’ permission.

Safe computer rule 2:
I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.

Safe computer rule 3:
I will never agree to get together with someone I "meet" on-line without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my mother or father along.

Safe computer rule 4:
I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. If I do, I will Log off and tell my parents. If I get such a message, I will not respond. Instead, I will show it to my parents and let them deal with it.

Safe computer rule 5:
I will talk with my parents so that we can set up safe rules for going on-line. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be on-line, the length of time I can be on-line and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission.

Safe computer rule 6:
I will check with my parents before downloading or installing software or doing anything that could possibly hurt our computer or jeopardize my family’s privacy.

Safe computer rule 7:
I will not give out my Internet password to anyone (even my best friends) other than my parents.
