Child and Teen Safety on the Internet (New)
The Internet is a vast and growing
network of people and information. With millions of
individuals all over the world logging in on a daily basis,
this complex community hosts sites of all kind with true and
false information on a vast amount of subjects. Today the
Internet is not only for adults. Teenagers and children are
also utilizing this network of networks for everything from
education to entertainment. They are privy to the same vast
pool of uncensored and ungoverned information that their
parents are. Of course with this type of access comes many
levels of risk. Parents and guardians should be aware of
what the risks are, where they are found, and how to prevent
or reduce them.
