To protect your children from online threats, here are a few key actions you can take:

1. Explain the risks of using the Internet to your children. Emphasize the importance of not giving out personal information and being aware of any suspicious activity.
2. Educate your children about the 'stranger danger' rule- never speak to strangers online, and don't arrange to meet up with any strangers in person.
3. Set up parental controls and online activity monitoring software to ensure your children are only interacting with approved sites and people.
4. If you are allowing them to post online, ensure they are using a protected nickname. Remind your children never to post any content that could be used to identify them.
