Further Suggestions
Ask your children
who
they talk to online – remember to ask if they have friends they only know online, people they play games with online but don’t know and if they talk to anyone that upsets or worries them
Get them to tell you
where
they go online – have they signed up for any commercial websites, have they been to any sites that have upset
them,
are
they sent links to sites that they then visit?
Find out
what
they do online – do they share pictures of themselves, are they always kind to other people online, do they ‘hack’ their friends accounts or post comments on YouTube
