The Alaska Attorney General joins attorneys generals across the country in promoting Internet safety for kids. The internet can be helpful for things like homework, but it can also be a scary place. Following a few rules can make it a safer place.
- Never give out personal information like your name, address, phone number, credit card numbers, or send your picture without asking your parents if it’s ok.
- Don’t buy things over the Internet without asking your parents. This can be a way for unscrupulous people to get a hold of your family’s credit card number.
- Never give your password to anyone.
- Never agree to meet someone in person that you have met over the Internet. That person could be telling you lies, and could be a dangerous person.
- If you get a message over the Internet that makes you uncomfortable, don’t answer. Tell your parents or another adult about it right away.
There are many Internet safety web sites on the internet for kids, their parents, and educators. A few of them the Attorney General likes can be found through the links on the right.
