Internet Safety for Young People

by Christina Shaffer, Demand Media

While many young people have access to the Internet at home, some may not be aware of the potential dangers that can occur when accessing inappropriate sites or online chat rooms. According to a 2012 survey conducted by Pew Internet, 72 percent of parents of online teens are concerned about their child’s online interactions with people they don’t know. By taking precautionary measures, such as educating your child on online safety and limiting her Internet access, you can reduce your child’s risk of viewing inappropriate and explicit content or being lured by an online predator.
