Chat Done Right
I don’t visit chat rooms, but if I did, I’d be sure to check out ChatDanger first. This is a good web site that’s easy on the eyes and very informative. It covers the usual devices used for chatting: mobile phones, chat rooms, e-mail, and instant messaging.
Information is provided on what to do and what not to do when chatting with someone online. Good advice for teens and adults follows:
- People you meet online are still strangers. Becareful at all times because despite the time you’ve spent chatting with them, they could still be a totally different person than what you were led to believe.
- Don’t give any information about yourself or your family to anyone who asks. Never!
- If you feel uncomfortable about what someone is asking you to do or the way they’re speaking to you, then get your parents involved immediately.
You can also find some eye-opening accounts of what happened to some children who weren’t careful when chatting to people.
But not everything is dark. Kids in particular will find the games entertaining and informative.
