Parent / Child Internet Usage Agreement

      Review the following agreement with your children and post them by the computer as a reminder.

1. I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.

2. I will not give out my address, telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parent's permission.

3. I will never agree to get together with someone I "meet" online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my mother or father along.

4. If I get a message that is mean, or makes me feel uncomfortable, I will not respond. It is not my fault if I get a message like that, and I will tell my parents if I do.

5. I will work with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online, and areas that I am allowed to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission.
