My Online
Safety Pledge
Traveling through cyberspace can be
fun, but like any trip you take you have to "Be Prepared" for unforeseen things.
So, read this before you go any further. Then print this page out and discuss it
with your adult partner.
- I will not give out personal
information such as my address, telephone number, parents'/guardians' work
address/ telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my
parents'/guardians' permission.
- I will tell an adult right away
if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.
- I will never agree to get
together with someone I "meet" online without first checking with my
parents/guardians. If my parents/guardians agree to the meeting, I will be
sure that it is in a public place and bring my parent or guardian
along.
- I will never send a person my
picture or anything else without first checking with my
parents/guardians.
- I will not respond to any
messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my
fault if I get a message like that. If I do, I will tell my parents/guardians
right away so that they can contact the online service.
- I will talk with my
parents/guardians so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide
upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online,
and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break
these rules without their permission.
