AntiPorn

The Internet is an increasingly important place to work, play and learn for both adults and children. At the same time, we are concerned about the risks we face online. The challenge is to stay "one-click" ahead of would-be pornographers, hackers, child-predators and those who would misuse your and your child's sensitive information.

online Safety Guard

Keeping children safe on the Internet is everyone's job.

• Parents need to stay in close touch with their kids as they explore the Internet.
• Teachers need to help students use the Internet appropriately and safely.
• Community groups, including libraries, after-school programs, and others should help educate the public about safe surfing.
• Kids and teens need to learn to take responsibility for their own behavior -- with guidance from their families and communities.
• It's not at all uncommon for kids to know more about the Internet and computers than their parents or teachers. If that's the case in your home or classroom, don't despair. You can use this as an opportunity to turn the tables by having your child teach you a thing or two about the Internet. Ask her where she likes to go on the Internet and what she thinks you might enjoy on the Net. Get your child to talk with you about what's good and not so good about his Internet experience. Also, no matter how Web-literate your kid is, you should still provide guidance. You can't automate good parenting.
