| On-Line Safety Tips |
| Never give out personal information on the net, like your full name, address, phone number or school. |
| Ensure your screen name does not reveal personal information about you. |
| Review your online profile. Predators can use this personal information to find you. |
| Only allow your friends to view your personal blog and profile. |
| Never send your picture to someone you don't know. |
| Don't accept invitations to view webcams from unknown internet users. |
| Never arrange face-2-face meetings with people met online. |
| Understand predators ask personal questions and attempt to become friends quickly. |
| Time chatting online to a person does not equal trust or knowing the person. | |
