A WARNING FOR PARENTS!

Beside the general precautions about using cyberspace to meet people, here are some safety tips to prevent children from inappropriately hooking up over the Internet:

1. Keep the computer terminal in a family room, not in a private bedroom.
2. Discuss proper usage with your children.
3. Monitor usage periodically.
4. Set specific times when the computer can be used-when someone's home.
5. Inform kids about potential dangers on the Internets, in the same way you would warn them about abductions. Encourage them to come to you with any questions they may have.
6. Talk to kids about sex in general so they have a healthy attitude and are not misinformed.
