they will only speak to people in positions of authority

6. Prevention is better than cure
Mobile phones
Only give your number to trusted friends
Never put your number online
Think before you send a message or
image – always respect others
Save any abusive or threatening
messages
Never retaliate because it will only
escalate the problem, and you cease being
just the victim
7. Prevention is better than cure
Online
Never give anyone a password
Don’t believe anything someone you meet
online says – how do you know their age,
location, gender or anything else
Learn how to restrict access to your profile
on a social network site and only accept
‘real friends’ as ‘friends’
Be careful what content you place online –
could an image or video be used
maliciously?
