When you’re surfing the web you may come across websites and other material that is offensive, obscene or illegal. There are some easy ways to handle these situations.
Tips
•
Report the content to a trusted adult.
•
Seek help from your mother, father or an older brother or sister.
•
Know how to ‘escape’ from a website if an internet search takes you to an unpleasant, offensive, obscene or illegal website. Hit control-alt-delete if the site will not allow you to exit.
•
Surf on. If a website looks suspicious or has a warning page for people under 18 years, leave immediately.
•
Set your search engine to block ‘offensive’ or adult material.
