Internet Safety Tips
Taken with Permission
From Internet 101

Welcome to Internet 101

Here at Internet 101, our motto is “police and partners . . . working together to web-proof our communities”. Just as we teach our kids to safely navigate the streets of our cities, we need to do the same for the digital highway we call the Internet. A committee of police forces, led by the RCMP, created and maintains this website, a collection of safety tips, helpful presentations and links to further police-approved resources to help kids and parents surf safely.

Here is some simple advice on how to surf the Internet safely and still have fun online.

1.
Make sure that a parent, teacher or other responsible adult is around when surfing the Internet.

 
2.
Use a nickname and never reveal your real name to a stranger on the Internet.

 
3.
Never reveal personal information such as your age, address, phone number or the name of your school. And never tell anyone your passwords to websites or your e-mail addresses.

 
4.
Do not send digital pictures of yourself over the Internet. Be sure to tell a parent or a teacher if someone wants to send you a photo.

 
5.
Check with an adult before downloading anything from the Internet. Files or programs downloaded may contain viruses which could damage your computer.

 
6.
Always be courteous while online. Never use harsh words, and never spread rumors or lies. If someone sends you an offensive message, tell a parent or teacher.

 
7.
Never accept gifts. Do not buy any toys, games, books or anything else without your parents’ permission.

 
8.
Never agree to call or meet someone that you have met over the Internet. If someone asks you to meet them in person, say NO and tell a parent or teacher right away. The person you are chatting with may be lying or be an adult pretending to be a child.

 
9.
Tell an adult immediately if you come across something on the Internet that makes you feel uncomfortable.

 
10.
You never know what you might find on the Internet; when in doubt, go to an adult for advice.
