Children often find the world of the Web even more fascinating than adults do.
It's lively, it changes quickly, and there are endless possibilities for fun, games, educational tools, and conversations with kids from all over the world. But the Internet has its darker side, too. The friendly voice in a chat room could belong to someone with whom you don't want your child speaking. An innocent misspelling of a request on an Internet search engine could bring up a long list of links to sites that promote hate or violence, deliver adult content, or provide easy access to other sites that are inappropriate for children. In the face of these dangers, there are resources that parents can utilize to help their children to have a safe and enjoyable Internet experience.
