Online chatting can be a dangerous place for kids. Protect your child by moving the computer to a family room instead of their bedroom. Secondly, talk to your child about the anonymity of chatters. They need to understand that the 15 year old girl they are talking to may be a 53 year old man. Knowledge will give them power.

The best way to keep your kids safe while they are chatting online is to directly supervise them. Do not alow computers to be in private areas. Have the computer in the kitchen or the living room where adults are more likely to interact with the kids.
