Internet Safety - Child's Contract

 

I realize that the Internet holds some wonderful opportunities for me to learn or play. I also understand 

there are areas of the Internet that are inappropriate for children. I know I must be aware of these and 

will ask my parents to help keep me safe on the Internet. I agree to the following rules:

  

  1.   If I see something that I do not understand or makes me uncomfortable I will inform my parents.
 
  2.  I will not post personal information about myself or my family members on the Internet as on a profile.  
       Information such as name, address, telephone numbers, age, school I attend, etc for examples.
 
  3.  I will be a good netizen and treat people the way I would like to be treated on the Internet.
 
  4.  My password is private and I will not inform anyone of it except my parents.
 
  5.  I will have a screen name that does not reveal personal information about myself or my family.
 
  6.  I will inform my parents if I am approached by someone online I have met and wants to talk about sex or 
       asks to meet with me.
 
  7.  I understand there are people on the Internet that might pretend to be my friend and my age but they are 
       older and wish to hurt me.
 
  8.  I will not send photos of myself or my family to someone I met on the Internet.
 
  9.  I will inform my parents if I receive inappropriate website links, photos, emails or instant messages.
 
10.  I will not fill out online forms that request information about myself or my family without my parents 
       permission.
 
11.  I will tell my parents if anything bad happens online. They promise not to overreact.
 
12.  I will comply with the rules and guidelines my parents have set down for the computer and Internet use.
 
13.  I will not install, copy or download from the Internet or a disk without permission, and be cautious of viruses.
 
14.  I will not use my parents credit cards without permission.
