Home Alone?

Don't enter your home if something looks wrong, like the door is open or a window broken.

Call a designated person as soon as you are home so someone will know you arrived safely.

Know how and when to call 911! Have a backup person to call in case of emergency!

Don't go and visit friends without a parent's permission. They may get frightened when they don't know where you are!

Never answer the door for someone you do not know or tell someone over the phone you are home alone.

Internet Safety

Do not have a computer in a child's room or somewhere isolated in your house, have it where you can see it.

Make a point of learning enough about the computer so that you know what your child is doing and where they're going online.

Don't use your real names or identifying information in your email addresses, this can protect kids from predators as well as helping protect all of us from identity fraud.

Never agree to meet anyone who you've met online without a parent's permission or supervision, this will help ensure that people are who they say they are.

If you use any IM sites like MSN messenger or ICQ, don't add people to your contacts list unless you know them in person.

Don't give out your friends, or enemies email address to anyone else online

What Can Predators Find Out About You or Your Children?

Go towww.google.com to find out. Search your family's name and see what's out there. In the age of technology there is so much information out there that anyone could find you if they really want to. Please educate yourself and make sure your kids have the tools they need to be safe online. You have taken the first step by coming to this site.
