Do you safeguard yourself on the Internet? The following are safety guidelines recommended to protect yourself from online predators and unsolicited correspondence.

  • Never give out personal information such as your address, phone number, the name of your school, any ID/social security/credit card number, or your last name.
  • If you become aware of the sharing, use, or viewing of child pornography online, immediately report this to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 800.843.5678.
  • Not everyone is who they say they are. For example a person who says "she" is a 19-year-old girl from Kent may really be a 30-year-old man from West Seattle.
  • Never agree to meet anyone, anywhere without talking to another adult, including a friend, about it first and getting their advice.
  • Never give out any passwords to anyone for any reason!
  • Don't reply to any e-mail messages if you feel that they are offensive, strange, mean or upsetting to you.
