Survey: Teens 'sext' and post personal info

While the news from this survey is mostly good, there is still a significant minority of teens who are harming others, being victimized by other teens, or putting themselves at risk. That's why it's important for parents to talk with their teens about appropriate use of the Internet. Don't scare them or shut down their use, but do remind them to mind their manners, think before they post, and seek help if someone is bullying or harassing them.

Keeping kids online safe

The new way to keep kids safe isn’t to try to block them from going to nasty sites: it’s all about educating them about what is good behavior and is bad. Anyway, Jody told me that educators are now seeing the real threats are the kids own friends

Online Safety and Responsibility | always learning

# Whose responsibility is it to teach students about the dangers of social networking (not only physical danger from online predators, but the danger of getting college applications rejected or the danger of getting kicked out of school)?
# Whose responsibility is it to help parents stay informed about these new methods of communication?
# Whose responsibility is it to ensure that students learn how to have successful, productive, and educational online experiences?

Crimes Against Children Research Center

Trends in Arrests of "Online Predators"

internetsafety onlinesafety

  • Although arrests of online predators are increasing, especially arrests for soliciting undercover law enforcement, the facts do not suggest that the Internet is facilitating an epidemic of sex crimes against youth. Rather, increasing arrests for online predation probably reflect increasing rates of youth Internet use, a migration of crime from offline to online venues and the growth of law enforcement activity against online crimes.
    • Why don't they lead off the story with this info. Many people will read the headline and opening paragraph without asking why, what caused the increases. - on 2009-04-02

eClassroom News - Study: Internet safer for kids than many think

More people have been arrested in recent years for sexually soliciting youths online, but the sharp increase comes from better enforcement, and the internet remains a relatively safe social environment, researchers said in a new study.

  • some states have updated their laws to address online solicitations.
    • Have we updated our understanding of online safety? - on 2009-04-01

  • But the researchers found no evidence that minors were being lured by predators based on the personal information they post. Rather, they said, youths often were actively seeking relationships with people they knew to be adults.
    • Something youths probably would not do face-to-face. Online, they have this false impression that their actions have no consequences. They feel removed from real-time responsibilities. - on 2009-04-01

Let Your Geeky Kids Play Online With KidZui | MakeUseOf.com

While Google and Yahoo SafeSearch settings go a long way towards easing those concerns, there are always harmful websites that make it through the filters. Setting up a filter on your own Internet firewall is another option, but again - as long as your kids are connected directly to the Internet, nasty things like dangerous websites or child predators can always make it through somehow.\n\nThis is where a free web browser created specifically for children, like KidZui, can completely remove that parental worry.
