| DISCOURAGE
CHATTING WITH STRANGERS |
| Unfortunately
Chat rooms are what kids enjoy most. They
are also often the most dangerous places
online especially for a children. |
|
| Discourage
your child from talking to strangers. There
have been several unfortunate cases of harassment
by strangers even in India. |
|
|
PARENTAL
CONTROL TOOLS |
 |
As
a parent, you could install parental control
software and programs on your computer which
can help block access to adult sites, block
usage |
| after
a particular time and can log surfing activities
(allowing parents to see which sites a child
has visited).

|
SAFETY
HABITS |
 |
Educate
your children not to open up any e-mail
or attached files or web pages that you
receive from people you don't know. |
|
|
|
|
KEEP
A WATCH |
| If
possible, route your child's e-mail through
your account and share their password. Monitor
their surfing habits. Tell them not to fill
in any online forms without your consent
or give out credit card numbers to friends.
|
|
| Keep
the computer in a central family location,
not in the child's room. The computer should
be a family activity. |
|
| |
|
|
| SET
AN EXAMPLE |
| Most
of all set an example to them through your
good surfing habits. Children tend to copy
their parents. |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Should
you become aware of the existence of any
Vulgar or indecent materials involving your
child or any incidence of harassment, immediately
notify your local Police station or contact
the Police Commissioner’s Office in your
city or town. |
