As a parent, there are simple precautions we can take to ensure our
child's well-being and safety on the internet. Links to child safety programs, Cyber Patrol, Momma Bear, Net Nanny,
& Surf Watch, are below.
Protect Your Child on The Net
Surf with your children. Take the time to see what they're doing online and what their interests are.
Encourage children to adopt what they know about safety
to the online world.
Teach children never to give out any kind of personal
information to people they meet online, in email nor in
public places like chat rooms and bulletin boards.
Instruct your children never to plan a face-to-face
meeting alone with an online acquaintances.
If they are invited to a meeting, make sure they get
your permission first; that they go with you or an adult family member
and they always stay in a public place.
If your child receives offensive or dangerous email or
other communication, tell him/her not to respond and to
tell you straight away.
Alert your Internet Service Provider immediately.
Any kind of illegal activities directed at children
should be reported at once to your local authorities.
Establish clear ground rules about Internet use for
your children.
Decide whether or not to use parental control tools or
protective software. Some useful links are
provided
below.
Ask service providers about parental control tools, or
computer stores about "child safety software" to block,
restrict, monitor and review children's activities online.
Place your computer in the family room or another open
area of your home.
Or use the computer together at your local community
centre, school or library.
These simple measures will help keep you involved while
your child is online.
Our children have the right to remain children, and the right to be safe.
Sadly we cannot afford to forget there are some very strange people out there.
Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look at what they can do when they stick together.
So are our kids. Let's stick together to give them a better world.

Before you go, please help donate free food?
In the time it takes you to read these few words, a child under 5 has died needlessly of starvation.
But before you shrug your shoulders and turn away, would you please spare a few moments of your time and help me do something about it?
I promise you it won't cost you a penny.
All I'm asking you to do is click a couple of links to donate free food at the Hunger Site.
That's it, nothing more.
By doing so, you'll provide 1 cup of staple food for 1 child.
Pass the word to just a few of your friends, and you'll be giving that child the chance to live until tomorrow.
Donate free food by clicking with me once daily at the Hunger Site, and think how many tomorrows we could give. The Hunger Site was launched in June 1999. On average, over 220,000 individuals from around the world visit the site each day to click the yellow "Help Feed The Hungry" button. To date, more than 200 million visitors have given more than 300 million cups of staple food.
