Chances are children will spend a lot of time online during the summer, and it is in the best interest of parents to make sure that their children are not victimised in any way.

EIE’s Online Safety Tips:

• Keep the lines of communication open.

• Create a list of Internet rules with your children.

• Set parental controls at age-appropriate levels.

• Use filtering and monitoring tools as a complement, not a replacement for parental supervision.

Enough is Enough has pioneered efforts to confront online pornography, child pornography, child stalking, sexual predation, cyber bullying, and other forms of online victimisation in the US.
