32. âSimply put, the lesson is there are few rules unique to
ensuring safety online, but rather, the rules are general
ones that should be applied online or off. In short, treat
an online environment much as you would a playground
or park.â
Lisa Nielson

34. "It's not primarily having a social networking profile or giving
out personal information that puts kids at risk. What puts
kids at risk are things like having a lot of conflict with your
parents, being depressed and socially isolated, being
hyper, communicating with a lot of people who you don't
know, being willing to talk about sex online with people that
you don't know."
David Finkelhor, from the Crimes Against Children Research Center

36. Itâs not giving out personal information that puts kid at risk.
Itâs not having a blog or a personal website that does that
either. What puts kids in danger is being willing to talk
about sex online with strangers or having a pattern of
multiple risky activities on the web like going to sex sites
and chat rooms, meeting lots of people there, kind of
behaving in what we call like an internet daredevil.

respectâ among Facebook users.â

... however, I would not leave it to Facebook ... check
privacy settings, who your kids are âfriendingâ & what
they are posting.

64. âWhen I look at how teens hurt each other, I canât help but also see how theyâre developing
training wheels for future relationships and reďŹecting normative behaviors that they see
around them ... But theyâre witnessing adult dramas all around them and what they
tend to see isnât pretty. Parents talking smack about work colleagues or bosses. Parents
ďŹghting with each other or ostracizing their family members over disagreements. And itâs not
just parentsâŚTeens are seeing ďŹghts and dramas all over the media. ... Teens are seeing
drama everywhere â theyâre seeing it as a legitimate part of adult society that can often lead
to notoriety.â

âThe issues here are systemic. And itâs great that the Internet is forcing us to
think about them, but the Internet is not the problem here. Itâs just one tool
in an ongoing battle for attention, validation, and status. And unless we ďŹnd
effective ways of getting to the root of the problem, the Internet will just
continue to be used to reinforce what is pervasive.â
