Internet Safety Resources

The World Wide Web offers many benefits to young people, including valuable educational resources and communication. But the Internet also offers easy access to a variety of objectionable material - including pornography, hate propaganda, and violent images.

By understanding how to avoid the dangers of the Internet and how to take control of the family computer, parents and other concerned adults can successfully keep criminal predators out of their homes and out of their children’s lives. They can also learn how to prevent their children from using the Internet to break the law.
