Just For Kids

Hi Kids,

My name is Mr. Habib and I am the Nurse in CcTC's Therapeutic Nursery. I will periodically write to you about health care topics, however I think that the best way to start our friendship "online" is to set some rules for our safety.

CcTC s Kids' Rules for Online Safety

I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parents permission.
I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.
I will never agree to get together with someone I "meet" online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my mother or father along.
I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.
I will not respond to any messages that are mean, or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that. If I do I will tell my parents right away so that they can contact the service provider.
I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online, and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission.
I will not give out my Internet password to anyone (even my best friends) other than my parents.
I will be a good online citizen and not do anything that hurts other people or is against the law.
If we follow these rules, we can make our time online at CcTC Kids "Fun and Safe".

Talk to you soon.

Mr. Habib
