BE NET-SMART: KIDS SAFETY ON THE INTERNET

THE 88TH PCT YOUTH SAFETY TIPS...

1. Just as you stay away from strangers on the street, be careful about strangers on the Internet.

2. If anyone uses nasty language or mentions things that make you uncomfortable, do not respond and log off.

3. Never give your real last name, address, or telephone number to anyone; if someone asks for this information (or for your password), do not respond. Log off and tell a trusted adult.

4. Never agree to meet with someone you have talked with on the Internet without asking permission from your parents first.

5. There are places on the NET, which are for adults only; if you find yourself in an "adults-only" place, or anywhere you think you should not be, leave! There are plenty of good "kid places" on the net.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO AFTER AN ACCIDENT?

If you're in an accident, do these things:

• Try to remain calm;

• Immediately find a trusted adult;

• If an adult is not present, call 9-1-1 or "0" for operator;

• Briefly, state the problem;

• Give your full name and address; and

• Remain on the telephone for help, questions and instructions.
