We believe technology is important to our children, however, it can be very dangerous.. That is why we must remind our children to be vigilant online. They must know who to trust on line and who not to. They must know when to report and who to report to. It is our duty to keep them safe. They must be careful what they share on line.
As a parent you should also help by talking to your child about online safety. Ask them the SMART rules and the pants rule, talk about this regulary.
