Technology rules for parents
Parents, oh parents. They think they know everything about the internet. They maybe don't know all the rules but if you do there might be some new ones for you.
Don't text and drive
Texting and driving is as common as phoning and driving now. You can still wait for a text that isn't even that important like LOL or where are you? It is illegal to text and drive. So if you do it please do it.
Even though this is not with real people it still states a message.
It clearly states what it says ' save a life, don't text and drive.
What if you sent that text that killed your friend, cousin, uncle, sister, whoever it was you were responsible for it.
No Pirating
Whether it's music, movies, or TV shows it's considered pirating. If you don't know what it means pirating is basically the illegal downloading of TV shows, music, or movies.
If you're doing this you're a coward. You can click but you can't hide.
The best way to stop internet pirates is to spread the word.
Piracy is against the law, so if you're doing this be ready to go to jail.
Don't do scams online
People who used to scam used to be everywhere now they transferred to the online world. Scams are everywhere, don't underestimate them they can wreck lives.
If you're reading something online and you think it's a scam then don't read it further.
You don't now who is behind the screen. Don't talk to strangers online.
If someone has scammed you please report to the police.
Be aware of online predators
Predators from the movie Predator are fake, online predators are real. Keep yourself and your kids safe.
You don't know who you are talking to online, Just be aware that giving them too much information can wreck your lives.
Keep your kids safe.
Together we can all hunt them down.
No hacking
Hacking is illegal. I think the rate of hackers went down these past years but they still are out there. Hackers can wreck your computer I recommend that you install computer safety programs.
Hackers can hack weak firewalls so buy a quality computer safety program.
Don't just give your info to fake log in pages, hackers use that as their tools.
You should buy these anti hacker programs.
Have a limit for time online
Some parents are just spending too much time online. They should have a limit for what they do or their kids will stop liking their parents.
If you are online all the time your children will be too.
No child should be forgotten.
Kids will be sad when their parents aren't spending time with them.
This is what kids and their parents should be doing.
Parents should keep their own privacy
If you put to much of your info online it can come back and haunt you.
You don't who is invading your privacy always keep it safe.
Keep your info safe and secure, like going on setting and clicking pictures should only be accessed by friends.
Always keep your social networking sites safe.
Keep your kids safe
Parents should keep their kids safe online. Here are a few tips.
I love this slogan. If your child is getting cyber bullied online just show them this slogan.
Tell your child that if their photos are getting dislikes don't worry about. Those likes or dislikes don't matter.
Keep a limit for what your child is doing online. Social networking sites are evil.
Use the internet wisely
Never use the internet for bad stuff and saying wrong things about people, buying illegal stuff like drugs, guns and things like that.
You shouldn't online for any random reason.
Never buy guns online, they can hurt people.
Don't buy drugs online it can literally kill you.
Parents shouldn't let kids be unattended when using social networking sites
Kids might not know what is good or bad on the internet. Parents can assist them by telling them what is good or bad.
Always tell your kids what and not to do.
If your child sees something bad they will tell their friends who will tell their parents who will tell you which will make you a bad parent. Be a web wise parent.
When your child is old enough to have their own computer review these rules them.
