Sheriff's Safety "NET" Pledge

I Pledge that…

1. I will never give out personal information such as my last name, address telephone number, parents' work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parents permission.

2. I will tell my parents right away if I come across anything on the computer that makes me feel uncomfortable.

3. I will never agree to get together with someone I have met online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my mother or father along with me.

4. I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.

5. I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that. If I do, I will tell my parents right away so then can contact the online service.

6. I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time that I can be online and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not break these rules or access other areas without my parents permission.

7. If I am sent any material or messages that make me uncomfortable, I will turn off the monitor and get my parents.
