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.
