Safety Overview
The most common threats faced by young people
online are cyberbullying,
sexting/sextortion and interaction with
online predators.
The most effective tool parents and
educators have to combat these threats is open and ongoing
communication. Please start a conversation today with your
children about the immediate dangers and long-term
consequences of their online behavior. Revisit the conversation as
your child gets older and their online activities change.
You can review the information provided on
cyberbullying and sexting/sextortion and see our
Internet Safety Partners for more ideas
about speaking to your children about technology safety and good
digital citizenship.
