With school back in session, kids will likely be spending more time on the Internet, doing school work and conducting research.
Do your children use the Internet? Do you know who they are talking to on Facebook? Many teens do not like to share their passwords with their parents to their email, Facebook and Twitter accounts. It’s important for parents to help protect their children from online predators. Many online monitoring tools are available to help you keep your children safe, such as parent-control options from your Internet service provider and software that blocks access to sites and restricts personal information from being sent online.
Talk with your kids first before going through their emails. Taking an active role in your kids’ online activities helps ensure they benefit from them without being exposed to potential dangers.
