Internet+Safety

Internet Safety
The internet can be a wonderful resource for kids. The internet can use it for researches for their schools and it can be used to communicate with other kids around the world. But the internet can also be a very dangerous place. if your kids are online they might give someone his/her personal information.

Internet Safety Laws
One of the safety laws is the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) it was created to help protect kids online. It was made to keep anyone from getting a child's personal information without a parent knowing about it and saying that is okay first. The COPPA requires websites to to explain the private policies of their website and get parental consent before using a child's personal information,such as their name,phone number,or social security number. But even with this the best protection for your kids is yourself and how you monitor them on the internet.
