Illini Self Defense .Com  has compiled some simple and common sense guide lines to help keep your  loved ones safe while on the internet.
1. Establish an ongoing dialogue and keep the lines of communication open. – Spend time online alongside your children. Encourage an atmosphere of trust and temper your reactions when they run into dangers.
2. Supervise use of all internet enabled devices. – Keep computers in an open area in the home and be vigilant about supervising gaming, cell phones, etc.
3. Know your child’s online activities and friends. – Be familiar with their passwords, screen names and account info and have them provide identities of every person on their buddy list and every person they have friended on social media. Almost 1 in 8 teens discovered that someone they were communicating with online was an adult pretending to be much younger.
4. Regularly check the online communities your children use, such as social networking and gaming sites, to see what information they are posting. – Make sure that you as a parent are added to your child’s friend list, because if their profiles are set to “private” as they should be, you won’t be able to view any of their information. If’ you’re unsure whether your child has a profile, conduct a simple online search through the site or type their name into a search engine like Google, etc. Be aware of not only what your children are posting, but what other kids are posting about your children.
5. Supervise the photos and videos your kids post and send online. – Photos and videos can be instantly uploaded to sites online like YouTube and Facebook from any platform with internet access including your child’s cell phone, webcam, PDA and gaming device. The images your child posts may make them vulnerable to online predators, cyber bullies and strangers, or even lead to damaged reputations. Check with your child’s school to ensure that any projects, artwork, or photos placed on the school web site are only accessible by password (or through the school’s intranet) and do not contain any personally identifiable information. Younger children should not post photos or videos.
6. Discourage the use of webcams and chat rooms. – Most computers now come with built-in webcam devices, but webcams should only be used under close parental supervision, or not at all. Videos should only be sent to trusted friends and family. Never allow a webcam to be used by your child in his or her bedroom or other private areas.
Also, most sexual solicitation incidents (79 percent) happened on home computers via chat, beginning with personal questions about the teen’s physical appearance, sexual experiences and with propositions for “cybersex.”
7. Remind your children to think before they post as there are no take-backs online. — Nothing is truly private on the internet. Any and all information sent or posted is public or can be made public. Teens whose parents have talked to them a lot about internet safety are more concerned about the risks of sharing personal information online. For instance, more teens whose parents have not talked to them about online safety post information about where they live, etc.
8. Use privacy settings and set age-appropriate filters. – Privacy settings limit who can view your teen’s profiles. On most social networking and gaming sites, your teen can change his or her privacy settings by clicking on “account settings.” Ask your teen to show you their account settings, or if you have access to the their account, then you can check the settings for yourself. Filters block categories of inappropriate websites a child can view such as pornography, violence, gambling, gang activity, and illegal drugs, and settings are password protected. In addition to setting up parental controls, regularly update the operating system and install a firewall and up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spyware software.
9. Instruct your children to avoid meeting someone face to face they only know online. – Online “friends” may not be who they say they are. Children should be advised to come to you if anyone makes them feels scared, uncomfortable, confused, asks for any personal or personally identifiable information, or suggests meeting them.
Sixteen percent of teens say they’ve considered meeting face-to-face with someone they’ve met online, and 8 percent of teens say they have actually met in person with someone from the internet.
10) Teach your children how to respond to cyber bullies. – Children do not have to accept any online activity meant to intimidate, threaten, tease, or harm them or anyone else. Watch out for warning signs, including reluctance to go to school and reluctance to use the internet. Be aware of a change in your child’s behavior and mood, Report any offensive or dangerous email, chat, or other communications to local law enforcement. Do not delete the evidence.
