Safety on the Internet
Last updated November 1, 2010
You are probably an expert on using the internet and fully
understand why you have to be careful when communicating with
others on-line. If this is the case, you will probably know
when something doesn't feel quite right when you are on-line.
If you ever feel this way, remember to report it.
Check and see how safe you actually are, share your ideas and
experiences with others and get advice on how to get out of any bad
situations you might find yourself in.
