Once they turn 12 kids think they know just about everything, so how
do you teach them about teenage Internet safety? With hundreds of teen
chat rooms online, there really is no way to guarantee Internet safety
for teenagers. Go into one and within minutes, someone will type a
message like: “How old are you?” “Where do you live?” “Are your parents
home?”
Can you really know who’s talking to your kids online? And what
information are your children sharing? The Internet offers amazing
advantages, but it also gives predators a new way to find and stalk
their victims. And kids are using technology to “cyberbully” - sending
malicious emails and harassing Instant Messages, creating a whole new
area of concern when it comes to teenage Internet safety.
