The Internet is a wonderful and powerful tool that, with just a few clicks on the keyboard, can literally bring the world into our homes. Most of it is good - but some of it is not. It has been estimated that in 1998 17 million kids ages 2 to 18 were online. That number is expected to reach more than 42 million in five years. Several Internet sites have been developed that offer tips and guidelines for parents to help ensure that their children navigate the Internet in a safe and responsible manner. Some of these sites are listed below.
- SafeKids.Com
- offers tips for parents to minimize any potential risks of being online. It includes family rules such as never giving out any personal identifying information and making computer use a family activity.
