Visiting Web Sites

There are basically two dangers associated with visiting Web sites.

First, a child may come across material that is sexual, hateful, violent, or otherwise inappropriate.

Second, some Web sites invite visitors to enter information about themselves. Children should never enter such information -- even if they are familiar with the site -- without parental permission. Parents should not allow their children to enter personal information without first finding and reviewing the site's privacy policy.
