The Internet provides
our children with access to a larger world and great
resources like research, news, communication, and
entertainment.
However, as children increase their Internet use, they
are often willing to trust and meet strangers, while
also keeping their Internet activities away from the
eyes of their parents.
It is important for parents and children to be educated
about the risks the Internet presents. This education
needs to come in an age-appropriate manner.
All too often, we pay attention to Internet dangers only
after someone becomes a victim.
The Nevada Attorney General’s Office offers the
following publications to help parents to provide their
children with some basic “rules of the road” before we
give them the keys to the Internet.
