Tips For Keeping Your Children Safe Online

• Have a conversation with your children;

warn them about malware, dangerous websites, and predators.

• Keep your computer in a common area of

the house so you can easily monitor your child’s usage and habits.

• Know which computers your children are

using (not just at home).

• Remind your children, “Don’t talk to

strangers online - or meet them.”

• Make internet time family time (surf the

web together and you’ll learn more about your child’s interests).

• Know your children’s passwords and be

respectful of age limitations on accounts (there’s usually a reason they’re 13 and

• lder or 18 and older to sign up).
• Watch for changes in your children’s

behavior (suddenly more secretive or withdrawn).

• Pay attention to any gifts anyone gives

your children (as possible signs of seduction).

• Check your children’s browsing history.
• Set rules - and stick to them.

YouTube (Computers)

YouTube offers the ability to enter “Restricted Mode” on your computer. The trick is you have to enable it for every profile and for each browser you can use. YouTube warns parents that this feature is not 100% foolproof.

YouTube (Android)

YouTube (IOS)

YouTube Parent Resources

YouTube has parent resources. Click Here.

iPhones

You can use Restrictions, also known as parental controls, to block or limit specific apps and features on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Tap: Settings - General - Restrictions (Try it now) You will need to set a pin (don’t tell!) You can now set content, allow access to features, etc. You will need to do this on every device in your family (not spouse :) Click Here for directions on using parental controls on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

Instagram Safety Tips

• Have students purge Unknowns from their Followers List

○

Anyone on Instagram can potentially see pictures/videos that your child posts unless your child is using private account mode and is using its provided access restrictions.

○

You need to make it a condition of use that you be allowed to periodically review your child's Instagram follower list and ask them questions such as:

■

Who is this person following you?

■

How do you know them?

• Enable “Private Account” Mode

○ Only people you approve as followers can follow you. In other words, the entire world doesn’t have access.

• Remove Geotags

○ Instagram has a map that may show where a picture was taken. Click here for an article discussing how to remove geotags from Instagram.

• Permanently Disable Location Sharing

○ Settings - Privacy - Location Services - Instagram - Click “Never” under “Allow Location Access”

• Look at your child’s profile.

○ Make sure they don’t have anything in their profile that would allow someone to contact them direction or learn their whereabouts.

• Click here for the Instagram help site.

House Party Safety Tips

• Know what it is . . .

○ Next level video chatting ○ Chat simultaneously with 8 separate friends ○ Split screen feature ○ You need to create an account (username) ○ You can add your phone number to give the app access to your contact list ○ You create “rooms” for separate video chats ○ “Rooms” allow you to add up to 8 friends to the video chat ○ Chat requests are sent to friends via notifications through the app or text ○ As soon as friends respond, video chat is ready to begin.

• Good Things

○ Security - You control who you chat with. Rooms come with filters to block out anyone not explicitly invited. Accounts are secure - Although you can receive a request to chat from anyone, children need to know to ignore these requests. No chat can begin without agreement from both users.

House Party Safety Tips

• Concerns

○ Privacy ■ You need to know to “lock” your chat room and choose private settings. ■ If users forget to do this, others can eavesdrop and sneak into chats. ■ House Party gives a “stranger danger” warning if an uninvited user sneaks into the chat. ○ Stranger Danger ■ App doesn’t use any type of age verification ○ Explicit Content ■ With any social media, this is a risk. “Sexting” and other types of explicit material are an ever-growing risk.
