Parents, teachers, and guardians can begin taking steps to protect children online by creating an open environment where they feel comfortable reporting abuses over the Internet. Here are some tips: •Be aware of what social networks your kids and teens use and how much information they share. They should never share addresses, birthdays, schools, and last names with strangers; •Teach your kids how to conduct searches safely, by using specific and narrow search terms on commonly-used search engines to prevent unwanted and malicious results; •Install filters and firewalls to manage what sites your kids can access; •Set strong passwords that are different on every site; and •Remind your children not to say anything online about someone else that they would not want them to said about them
