Internet Safety Resources

Sometimes adults feel like they don't know quite as much as their children do about the Internet. These resources will help concerned parents, guardians, grandparents, teachers, or friends to better understand the opportunities and challenges children face online. It is more beneficial to help build children's confidence while working online so they are better equipped to respond to dangerous situations than to simply tell them to avoid "strangers" they may meet.
