• Recognize techniques used by online predators:
o Grooming: trying to connect to a child or getting the child to
be comfortable with him/her
• If an unknown person is trying to “get to know you”, let
someone know immediately. Remember, predators often
disguise themselves as children, but are adults!
o Fishing: trying to figure out where a child lives by asking about
hobbies or interests (“what is your favorite baseball team?”,
“what was the weather like today?”)
• DO NOT GIVE OUT ANY OF THIS INFORMATION!!!
o Mirroring: trying to mimic an emotion a child
feels, stating they understand how the child feels
o
DO NOT FALL FOR THIS!!!

• Respond assertively if you ever feel uncomfortable
online.
o Exit the program, log off or turn off your computer, tell an adult or call the
police
o Do not actually respond by writing back or messaging them. You should
exit the program and inform an adult. THAT IS YOUR RESPONSE!

• Tips to follow:
o Guard your identifying information (name, gender, age, address, school,
teams).
o It only takes a little information for a predator to identify you.
o Always remember, responsible adults do not pursue relationships with kids and
teens.
o Make your username generic and anonymous.
o Make your online profile generic and anonymous.
o Know how to exit an inappropriate website.
o Attachments in e-mails from strangers can contain Viruses and Worms.
o Pictures are great to hand to a friend, but it's not cool to send them to an
Internet 'friend.'
o Posting your picture on the Internet gives hackers the chance to change your
picture repost it to everyone on the World Wide Web.
o Chat room 'friends' are not always who they say they are.
o Know the rules about Intellectual Property. Do not illegally download music
and movies.
