| 1. |
I will not give out personal information such
as my address, telephone number, parents' work address/telephone number,
or the name and location of my school without my parents' permission. |
| 2. |
I will tell my parents right away if I come
across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable. |
| 3. |
I will never agree to get together with someone
I "meet" online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree
to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my
mother or father along. |
| 4. |
I will never send a person my picture or anything
else without first checking with my parents. |
| 5. |
I will not respond to any messages that are
mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I
get a message like that. If I do I will tell my parents right away so that
they can contact the service provider. |
| 6. |
I will talk with my parents
so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon 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. |
| 7. |
I will not give out my Internet password to
anyone (even my best friends) other than my parents. |
| 8. |
I will be a good online citizen and not do anything
that hurts other people or is against the law. |
