Parents Set The
Example
There was a outstanding story in the papers this week,
coming out of Airdrie, Alberta. Seems a set of
parents, were concerned about their child's behavior,
checked out what the child was doing on the computer
lately, and discovered a predator was stalking their
child.
They contacted the quick thinking Airdrie RCMP, who were
then able to apprehend the predator, who is now in
custody. Great Job, to the parents! Great follow thru,
to the RCMP! In light of these events, Street Smart Kidz
is going to re-visit our Jan. 14th-2008, Tip of
the Week and give everyone a few questions to
think about.
What are the signs my child might be at risk to a
on-line predator?
-
your child spends large
amounts of time on-line, especially at night
-
your child closes the
laptop, or shuts down the computer when someone
enters the room
-
you find pornography on
your child's/family computer
-
your child receives
phone calls, sometimes long distance, to numbers you
don't recognize
-
your child receives
mail, small gifts, or packages from someone you
don't know
-
your child becomes
withdrawn from the family
-
your child is using an
on-line account belonging to someone else
If you have concerns or
questions about any of the above, great
places to contact are
www.cybertip.ca,
www.SafeKids.com,
your local RCMP or us at
www.streetsmartkidz.ca
. We will help any way we can! And please, visit
our Library !
