How can I keep my kids safe on the internet?

Protecting a Child's Identity

Show your children how easy it is to find someone with a limited number of clues. In the course of several chats, a child might mention his state, town, school, team or clubs, and times he's alone at home or returning from activities. They need to understand that they do not know who they are talking to, even if they are given a picture. Pictures and information can be faked, and the person they are talking to could be a criminal who will track them down.
