Internet Safety

The best tool we have to prevent Internet crimes against children is education and continued conversation. For Safer Internet Day 2024 (February 6th), we are proud to share our S.M.A.R.T. Parenting Tips for Online Safety. These parenting tips provide information and additional resources to Setup: Devices/Account/Passwords, Monitor: Online Use/Connections, Approve: Apps/Games, Restrict: Content/Permissions, and Talk: #StartTheConversation / Teach.

Protect Our Youth Online: #StartTheConversation

Many years ago, we said “put the computer in a common room”. Today, our message is about a conversation. A conversation that highlights the good, and the not so good and dangerous aspects of technology use. We strongly urge all parents and guardians, educators, and child protection professionals to #StartTheConversation about technology safety.

The resources on this page can also help inform and protect our families.


Resources

We strive to find high quality and effective Internet resources which will help you and others get better informed about the current dangers and challenges in your effort to protect children across this country every day.
