In keeping with my name "Molly Weasley", I wanted to share them with you guys. I am sure you all know these, but it never hurts to review!! These come from the Kim Commando website. Sometimes, the Internet can be an unsafe place. 1. I will talk with my parents and we will set up rules for when I go online. We will decide the times of the day that are right for me to use the computer, how long I can use the Internet, and the kinds of places I can visit and the kinds of places I will always avoid. 2. No matter who asks while I'm online, I will never give out my home address or telephone number, the name of my school principal or teachers, where my parents work or their telephone numbers at work without getting my parents' direct permission. 3. If anyone online does anything strange or writes anything that makes me feel confused or uncomfortable, I will tell my parents right away. 4. I will never send anyone anything, especially a picture of me or my family, without getting my parents' direct permission. 5. I WILL NEVER, EVER MEET WITH ANYONE I'VE TALKED TO ONLINE WITHOUT FIRST TALKING WITH MY PARENTS. 6. I will NEVER give out my online passwords to anyone--not even my friends. No matter how "official" it looks, I understand that no one should ever ask for my password online. If they do, I'll tell my Mom or Dad right away, because I understand that this is just a way to trick me into giving out the password. 7. If I want to download any games or programs, I will show them to my parents first and ask permission. 8. If I receive any messages or pictures that are mean or dirty, I realize that this is not my fault. I agree to tell my parents right away so they can notify our Internet service provider and stop this kind of thing. 9. I will never use bad language or send mean messages online. I will tell my parents if someone does that to me.

And also, maybe sweetsixteen should think about changing the link to her homepage. It has a photo of her .. not sure if that's ok or not with the rules that the Moderators have here about privacy.

(I have 2 sons of my own!) so it was directed to you, but not because i think anything bad about you. you seem like a really great person with a sharp mind and a quick wit!

Hugest HP Fan Group: Members Posts: 2,262 Joined: 22-February 04 From: Texas Member No.: 32	estel: OK now you are making me feel bad! Of course i was worried. I'm just some -MOM- sticking her nose in your business. I would have been worried if it had been any other teenaged poster, probably because my own son is getting to the age of "Mom, can't you just leave me alone!" But I'm not sorry I posted it just in case it keeps someone safe! Even if ARROGANT estel is going to give me a hard time. :lol: ...JJ
