Faux Paw's Adventures in the Internet
Always ask permission to use the Internet.
You may know how to use the Internet, but it is important for your parents and other adults to know what you are doing. They may have their own rules they want you to follow.
Remember these basic rules when looking on the Internet.
Never talk to anyone you don't know!
Someone may say it's okay for you to talk to them when it's really not. You may not be able to see them, but they are still strangers! According to netlingo.com, 71% of children have reported receiving messages from someone they do not know. Please be careful of who you talk to!
Never give out personal information to anyone over the Internet.
This includes your name, address, phone number, passwords, and photos of you or others you know. It is scary to learn that 45% of children have been asked from strangers to give out their personal information. It is important to keep these things private.
Do not be tricked into exploring other websites.
These may look safe, but some may trick you into getting your personal information or watching something you shouldn't be watching.

Show good manners online.
When talking to someone you do know, you should always be nice and polite.
When in doubt, ask an adult!
If you come across something you think is inappropriate or wrong, let your parents or teacher know. Remember, we always want to make sure we are being safe online.
Netlingo.com tells us that most kids do not report inappropriate Internet activity because they are afraid of losing Internet privileges. Please do not be scared to ask for help!
