Make sure your children understand that any message they may receive
that makes them uncomfortable should not be responded to, but to contact
you or another adult about it immediately.
One last tip: if your children have their computers in their bedrooms, make them keep it and use it in a common area such as a great room, family room or the kitchen. Never allow them to keep a PC, laptop or notebook in their private room. Using a quality Internet filter program is also a priority. The better ones will filter out more than 98% of all sexually-related material and virtually 100% of all explicit pornography.

Taking these steps will help protect your children
from predators, molesters and other sexual deviants that prowl
cyberspace looking for easy, innocent prey. It will also help keep your
children from becoming Internet addicts--especially Internet pornography
addicts. By helping to assure your children a safer, better childhood,
you'll assure yourself of greater peace of mind.
