With all the stories of cyber abuse and internet predators out there, it is easy to get spooked. But hold on, before you decide to disconnect your internet, take the time to learn how to spot these potential threats and what you can do to prevent them. Make sure your children understand which web sites are acceptable and which are off limits. Place the computer in the family room or kitchen so you can see what your children are viewing. Set a time limit for how long they can spend on the computer. The Cops for Kids Safety program will educate your children to help keep them cyber safe.
