Youth Rules for ONLINE Safety

      • I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parent's work address/telephone number, or name and location of my school without my parents' permission.
      • I will tell my parents 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. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that the meeting is in a public place and that I bring along my mother or father.
      • I will never send my picture or anything else to a person without first checking with my parents.
      • I will not respond to any messages that are mean or that in anyway make me feel uncomfortable. I am not to blame if I get a message like that. If I do, I will tell my parents right away so that they can contact the online service.
      • I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide on the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online, and appropriate sites for me to visit. I will not access other sites without their permission.

The above suggestions were from the United States Department of Justice.
