follow updates from them.

6. SAFETY TIPS
• Even if it’s not your kid being inappropriate online, you should contact their parents to
alert them.
• Check if GPS Location data is being stored when you put in info (mobile mostly)
• If your kid has a smart phone, turn off GPS on Photos or people can see where they are
when they post the photo online
• Use privacy settings to restrict who can access and post on your child’s profile.
• Tell your kids to never impersonate someone else.
• Only add friends you know in real life.
• Use a nickname that doesn‘t identify your location, gender, or age.
• Never meet in person with anyone you first met online.
• Profile and photo share only with people on your friends list.
• Don’t post your plans or whereabouts.
• Never post sexually provocative photos.
• Have your kid’s passwords so you can check on them when you want to- and do it
often- Tell them you will too!
• Have your kids use strong email passwords.
• Don’t click on links from people you do not know (email or online).
• Tell your kids not to download any “free” stuff unless they ask for permission (free
games, ring tones or other downloads)

7. WHAT TO TELL YOUR KIDS….
• Never arrange a face-to-face meeting with someone they met
on-line
• Never upload (post) pictures of themselves onto the Internet
or on-line service to people they do not personally know
• Never give out identifying information such as their name,
home address, school name, or telephone number
• Never download pictures from an unknown source, as there is
a good chance there could be sexually explicit images
• Never respond to messages or bulletin board postings that are
suggestive, obscene, belligerent, or harassing
• That whatever they are told on-line may or may not be true
• Tell them if they ever get in a weird situation to let you know
so you can help- not get mad at them.

8. USING A SAFETY CONTRACT
•I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number (cell or home), parent’s
phone numbers, or the name and location of my school without my parents’ permission.

12. FACEBOOK SETTINGS 4: BLOCKING
Use a restricted List: When you add friends to your Restricted list they can only

post on your timeline, tag you, invite you to events or groups, start a

13. TWITTER SETTINGS
• Account:
• Username: You can choose to uncheck the box “let others find me by my email address” as this will allow
friends to find your username and request to follow you if they have your email address.
• Tweet Location: I do not suggest you check the box “Add a location to my tweets” as this will show where
your kids are located.

• Tweet Privacy: Click this box to protect tweets and you will have to accept someone before they can see
your tweets.

Since there are a lot of people hacking Twitter accounts, this will protect you further.

• Email notifications: These are optional for your kid to see updates about activity related to their network.

image.

• Website: nothing needs to be in here
• Bio: This is a place to add 160 characters about yourself. Make sure what they write is appropriate.
• Facebook: If you allow this option, Facebook can post on your behalf your tweets to your Facebook profile.
• Apps: Review apps and make sure they are needed or “revoke access”

14. INSTAGRAM SETTINGS
• The only information required when signing up for Instagram is an email address and desired
username.
• Phone is not required, so make sure your kids are not entering it.
• Anyone can view the photos (unless you tell it otherwise).
• Instagram is not for children under the age of 13.
Settings:
• Go to your profile from your mobile device (signed in)
• Click Edit Profile and scroll down to the bottom to: “Photos are private”
switch
• Toggle the “Photos are private” switch to ON to turn on privacy.
Geotagging:
• When uploading a photo, the geo-location data of the photo can easily be
shared with your followers if you are not careful. Fortunately, Instagram turns
geotagging off by default, but it’s easy to accidently turn it on.
• When uploading a photo, be sure to avoid tapping the button shown in this screenshot. If you do,
you can always tap it again to turn it off.
