Description: "Today's children must fully embrace the capabilities offered by the many technologies and services available on the Internet. But in doing so, children become exposed to significant risks. Parents, schools, organizations, and lawyers must understand these risks and how to safeguard children's experiences online. The Internet is both dynamic and global, requiring assessment of current and emerging risks and local and global laws. Children and the Internet provides a practical and comprehensive approach to risks children encounter online, as both active and passive participants with the Internet. It includes methodologies for analyzing national and international laws, best practices for assessing and treating the online risks to children and parents, and advice on how to get started. In short, it is a complete methodology for lawyers, parents, schools, and organizations interacting with children"--P. [4] of cover.
