Extractions: ON THIS PAGE: What Parents Should Know Reading is still the most basic survival skill in today's information society but it is no longer enough. Children must also be technologically literate. More and more of today's public and school libraries provide computers, CD-ROMs, Internet access and training in how to use them. These electronic resources make doing a term paper or research assignment a far different experience than most parents remember. Special computer programs can help children learn to read and may entice them to want to read with colorful graphics, interactive games and virtually unlimited on-line resources. Many libraries offer software on loan for use on home computers. Surf the Internet at the library. More and more of the latest information we need for our jobs, education, health and other needs can be found on-line. Ask the librarian (or your child) for assistance. Go to the library with your child to supervise her computer use. Remember that the library must provide services for all ages. It's up to you to determine what is appropriate for your own child.

"You're being silly," she told herself, "no one is following you." To be safe she began to walk faster, but the footsteps kept up with her pace. She was afraid to look back and she was glad she was almost home. Shannon said a quick prayer, "God please get me home safe." She saw the porch light burning and ran the rest of the way to her house.

Spend time with your children on-line. Have them teach you about their favorite on-line destinations. Keep the computer in a common room in the house, not in your child's bedroom. It is much more diffdicult for a computer-sex offender to communicate with a child when the computer screen is visible to a parent or another member of the household. Utilize parental controls provided by your service provider and/or blocking software. While electronic chat can be a great place for children to make new friends and discuss various topics of interest, it is also prowled by computer-sex offenders. Use of chat rooms, in particular, should be heavily monitored. While parents should utilize these mechanisms, they should not totally rely on them. Always maintain access to your child's on-line account and randomly check his/her e-mail. Be aware that your child could be contacted through the U.S. Mail. Be up front with your child about your access and reasons why.

Extractions: Indianapolis OnLine The following information was compiled by Indianapolis OnLine executive director, Pam Weaver , and appeared in @Internet magazine. A lot of kids are getting online these dayssharing data about acid rain, talking about social issues, meeting adults as well as kids, and learning about other cultures. There seems to be one of everything on the network. Just like any other form of media, the quality of this massive collection of information is uneven and unverifiable, and just like any bookstore, there is both good information and smut. Computer networks hold tremendous promise; however, its also home to people who don't have good intentions, who use their own anonymity to hurt others or their technical knowledge to steal from them. Not only are there unsavory individuals lurking out there in cyberspace, there are whole Web sites waiting to entice the immature, the easily swayed, and the vulnerable. Hate groups, for example, have discovered that the Net is an effective place to reach vast numbers. Some Web pages can teach your kids many useful and fun things, but bomb-making is probably not high on your list of activities for a Saturday afternoon. By now youre shaking your head and pulling out your elected officials phone number, but wait, lets try to the put the problem into perspective. Generally, yes, it's safe for kids to use the Internet. To tell children to stop using these services just because crimes are being committed online would be like telling them to forgo attending college because students are sometimes victimized on campus. The number of sites on the Internet considered objectionable is somewhere between 1% - 3% (depending on your definition of "objectionable"), which leaves about 4.5 million other sites which are interesting and educational. Getting to the objectionable material also takes some sophisticated technical know-how. Unlike the bookstore where a child can just walk in and pick up a book from a shelf, the child who downloads pornography from the Internet has as much intention for mischief as the child hiding in the garage with a Playboy magazine in hand.

Extractions: Guidelines for Parents and Children W ith the growing popularity of the Internet, there is increased concern about children surfing the Net. The Internet offers many terrific sites and activities for kids to explore, but it also offers sites suitable only for adults. It's important for you, as parents, to understand the opportunities and dangers available to children on the Internet so you can feel comfortable letting your child explore the on-line world. THE GLOBAL NEIGHBORHOOD Imagine you were allowing your child and her friends to go into town or to the mall for the first time without adult chaperones. Even though you know there are dangers to your child out in the world, you wouldn't necessarily keep her at home. You would suggest things to do you think she would enjoy, tell her how to locate places you have visited together, and warn her how to stay safe. In just the same way, you must teach your child how to use the Internet safely. The Internet is a diverse global community. But like any community there are both appropriate and inappropriate places for children to visit and wonderful and not-so-wonderful people for them to meet. Children need guidelines to make these distinctions. GUIDELINES FOR PARENTS As a parent, use the guidelines below to help you and your children have fun surfing the Net:

Traditionally, on-line services have been oriented towards adults, but that's changing. An increasing number of schools are going on-line and, in many homes, children are logging on to commercial services. private bulletin boards, and the Internet. As a parent you need to understand the nature of these systems. On-line services are maintained by commercial, self-regulated businesses that may screen or provide editorial/user controls, when possible, of the material contained on their systems. Computer Bulletin Boards. called BBS systems, can be operated by individuals. businesses, or organizations. The material presented is usually theme oriented offering information on hobbies and interests. While there are BBS systems that feature "adult" oriented material, most attempt to limit minors from accessing the information contained in those systems. The Internet, a global "network of networks," is not governed by any entity. This leaves no Limits or checks on the kind of information that is maintained by and accessible to Internet users.

MONITORING CHILDREN'S USE OF THE INTERNET Children tend to be way ahead of parents on the Internet. For the most part, they are more comfortable with computer technologies, schools are going on-line rapidly and the world is shrinking in totally new ways. Safety in this environment is an evolving issue, one that has attracted widespread media attention. The reality, however, of this technology is that it holds vastly more information, opportunity and richness of experience, than danger. K IDS ON THE INTERNET Common advice to parents suggests not allowing your kids to spend hours on the Internet. I don't automatically agree. If your child sat down with the encyclopedia and kept switching to different books to get deeper and deeper into an area of interest, you wouldn't object. This is child-driven learning. It is one of the best kinds of learning. It generates excitement and energy and a feeling of power. The fact that it occurs on the computer, rather than in a big, heavy set of books with very small print and no moving pictures does not diminish its value.

The Safety Rules Can Protect Your Child Nearly a third of car-bike crashes involving a young child occur when the child rides down a driveway or from a sidewalk into the street and in front of a car. Kids must learn to stop, look left, look right, look left again and listen to be sure no cars are com-ing before entering a street. Look left that second time because cars coming from the left are on the child's side of the street and are closer. Use your driveway or sidewalk to demonstrate this way to enter a street.

Extractions: Hotlines Children are often better with computers than their parents. They may learn to use the Internet (go on-line) at school. Remember when they go on-line, children reach the outside world. Unless a filtering system is fitted (to block rude words and pictures for example), children can easily see rude pictures and violence as well as lots of useful and fun sites. And children can talk to strangers, especially through chat rooms. There is a risk, just as in the street, that someone who could do harm will try to approach them. Teach them never to go and meet anyone from the Internet unless you go too. Tell them not to give away their address or school name. Here are some safety tips to print off and stick to the computer:- It's a really bad idea to meet someone from the Internet - unless your parents go with you, in a public place. Remember, people can pretend on-line, no-one can see them.

Introduction Although on-line computer exploration opens a world of possibilities for children expanding their horizons and exposing them to different cultures and different ways of life they can also be exposed to dangers while exploring the information highway. There are individuals who attempt to sexually exploit children through the Internet. Some of these individuals gradually seduce their targets through the use of attention, affection, kindness, and even gifts. These predators often are willing to devote considerable amounts of time, money, and energy to this process. They empathize with the problems of children, and know all about their latest music, hobbies, and interests. They attempt to gradually lower children's inhibitions by slowly introducing sexual context and content into their conversations.
