Parent's Guide to Internet Safety

The Internet is a valuable tool for education and business. There is, however, an alarming rise in cyber threats, which affect our children.

The Internet is now the primary research tool for a majority of students. Even the most responsible students stumble across web sites that expose them to pornographic content.  Many such sites contain software harmful to your computer, putting all of your family's private data at risk and might possibly even lead to identity theft.

     Beware!
     • 65% children admit to unsafe, inappropriate and/or illegal activity on the Internet.
     • 50% of high school students "talk" in chat rooms or use instant messaging with strangers.
     • 49% have posted personal information on the Internet.
     • 20% have gone to meet face to face with someone they have met on the Internet

Out of concern for our children's safety; Geeks On Call has created the Parents' Guide to Internet Safety, a comprehensive guide to web-safe practices for children and parents. The guide is designed to help children and parents avoid the negative side of the Internet and see the internet as a tool for learning and entertainment.
