The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary is reminding parents that in addition to buying supplies for back to school, ensuring online safety in today’s digital world is becoming just as important.
Cst. James Cadigan says parents must teach responsible online behavior and set guidelines for their children. Keep devices connected to the internet out of bedrooms and other private spaces, know your children’s usernames and passwords, and regularly monitor their online activity. Cadigan says pictures should only be exchanged with parental permission, and children should be spoken to about cyber bullying – tell them not to participate and to tell an adult immediately.
