My On-Line Safety Pledge

I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents’ or guardian’s work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without the permission of my parents or guardian.

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 or guardian. If my parents or guardian agree to the meeting, I will arrange it in a public place and bring a parent or guardian along.

I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents or guardian.

I will not respond to any messages that are mean or that in any way make me uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that. If I do, I will tell my parents or guardian right away so that they can contact the online service.

I will talk with my parents or guardians 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 areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission.
