    4. Social Networking Sites
      • Social Networking Sites are the coolest, hippest meeting places for kids and teens
      • Used to enhance their social lives
      • Allow them to exchange information about themselves and communicate with others using blogs, chat rooms, email and instant messaging
    5. Social Networking Sites
      • While these sites have the ability to extend their circle of friends, they also expose them to those who may have bad intentions – from peers to sexual predators
      • While children under 14 are not allowed to register on social networking sites, most sites do not have the ability to verify age
    6. Social Networking Sites
      • Most young people apply common-sense principles and rules taught at home and school to avoid harmful situations in the “real world”
      • However, they often don’t apply these same rules to the “cyber world”
      • Children do not make the connection that the same precautionary measures must be applied to both the “real world” and they “cyber world”
    7. Online Predators
      • This presentation will focus on the dangers associated with online predators
      • Online predators use the internet to find their victims and work to build the child’s trust and confidence in them
    8. Online Predators
      • A recent study of over 1500 Internet users ranging
      • in age from 10 – 17 revealed that:
      • 1 in 5 received a sexual solicitation over the Internet in the past year
      • 1 in 4 had unwanted exposure to explicit pictures
      • Only 10% of the sexual solicitations were reported to law enforcement or ISPs
      • Less than 25% of children receiving solicitations reported the incident to their parents
    9.  
    10. Safety Tips for Students
      • Keep personal information personal
      • Students should never give out their social security number, address, phone number or family financial information
      • Students should be cautious about sharing other information such as the name of their school, sports team, hobbies, where they work or hang out, or any other information that could be used to identify them or locate them
    11. Safety Tips for Students
      • Ensure user names do not reveal too much
      • personal information
      • It is inappropriate and dangerous for children to use their name or home town as their name
      • Most user names made up of personal information are easily deciphered which can lead perpetrators to a student’s identity and/or location
    12. Safety Tips for Students
      • Post only information that is appropriate for the entire public
      • Anyone can see individual web pages including teachers, police, college admissions officers or potential employers
      • What is posted today may be harmful in the future
    13. Safety Tips for Students
      • Students should be aware that posting inappropriate photos can lead to damaged reputations and unwanted attention
      • Posting inappropriate photos, especially those that are explicit, can attract individuals who have bad intentions
    14.  
    15. Safety Tips for Students
      • Remember that once information is posted online and deleted or modified, the original will never be completely deleted
      • Older versions always exist on someone else’s computer
    16.  
    17. Safety Tips for Students
      • Be careful about adding strangers to IM Buddy or friend lists – people are not always who they say they are
      • Students should not add people as “friends” unless they know for sure who they person is
      • If individuals cannot provide solid information as to how they know the student, the student should delete the user name or block that user
    18. Safety Tips for Students
      • Educate students about the dangers of flirting with strangers
      • Online persons can easily lie about their identity while they are online and it is impossible to verify their true identity
      • Students can give the wrong impression when flirting with a real stranger as with an online stranger
    19. Safety Tips for Students
      • Teach students to “trust their gut”
      • If a student feels threatened or uncomfortable by someone or something online, they need to tell the teacher or another trusted adult
      • Having students speak up can prevent someone else from becoming a victim
    20. Safety Tips for Students
      • Online friends should not be met offline
      • Explain to students that strangers in the online world pose a threat to them just as much as strangers in the physical world
      • If educators or parents allow students to physically meet with online friends, adults should supervise the meeting
      • Never let them go alone – not even with a friend
    21.  
    22. Safety Tips for Students
      • Teach students not to click on links or download attachments in emails from strangers or emails they are not expecting
      • Emails from unknown persons may contain viruses or spyware that could damage the computer and steal personal information
    23. Examples
      • To demonstrate why these tips are so important for students, I would like to show you some of my “friends”
      • I have had a MySpace account since November 2007
      • As of April 7, 2008 I have 257 “friends”
      • However, my profile is that of a 14 year old
    24. As you can see this one is set to private
    25. But here is what I see
    26. Another one that is set to private
    27. However, they added me as a friend so . . .
    28. Yet another one set to private
    29. But I’m a friend so . . .
    30. Yep, another one set to private
    31. I’m a friend of this person also so . . .
    32. We’re almost done with the private ones
    33.  
    34. This is the last private one I will show you
    35.  
    36. But I still have some other friends from Fairfield and here they are
    37.  
    38.  
      • Hopefully these slides will help you see how important it is to teach children to protect themselves online
      • And remember . . . .
    39.
