Parent Document for Kids

• I will not give out personal information such as
  my address, telephone number, parent's work
  address/telephone number, or the name and
  location of my school without my parent's
  permission.
• I will tell my parents right away if I come
  across any information that makes me feel
  uncomfortable.
• I will never agree to get together with someone I
  "meet" online without first checking with my
  parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I
  will be sure that it is in a public place and
  bring my mother or father along.
• I will never send a person my picture or anything
  else without first checking with my parents.
• I will not respond to any messages that are mean
  or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is
  not my fault if I get a message like that. If I
  do I will tell my parents right away so that they
  can contact the online service.
• I will talk with my parents so that we can set up
  rules for going online. We will decide upon the
  time of day that I can be online, the length of
  time I can be online, and appropriate areas for
  me to visit. I will not access other areas or
  break these rules without their permission.
