Technology Rules For Parents
By: Bianca Gill
Rule #1
Parents should always block a person if they are sending you spam mail. Never open a link that came in with the spam mail. It might give you a virus or go into your private stuff. So it would just be better if you just block that person and never send them an email back.
SAFETY FIRST!
Always be safe on the internet!
CAUTION!!
Don't ever give any personal or private information to people online. Even if you know then, still don't give personal and private information!
SPAM!!
Don't ever respond to spam e-mails because you never know who is on the other side. If you ever get spam mail, just block the person who sent you it. Never open the link that are with the spam e-mails, they usually have a virus in the links
