Situations to Avoid

[Expired]

Physical Danger

The most serious risk you can face involves the possibility of someone using information posted about you — or information about where you go online — to hurt you.

The number of teens who are molested, abducted, or leave home as a result of contacts made on the Internet are relatively low, but when it happens the results can be tragic.

Online enticement of children for sexual acts is a serious offense. If you are approached in this way, immediately report it to Net Alert (http://www.netalert.gov.au/advice/reporting.html)



Be especially wary of any “get rich quick” schemes. These can promise to help earn you lots of money in your spare time, offer to help you lose weight quickly, or promise to enhance your appearance. If something sounds “too good to be true,” it probably is. Participating puts you at risk of giving up your privacy and your family’s financial security.

What to Report



Anyone you don't know who asks you for personal information, photos or videos.
Unsolicited obscene material from people or companies you don't know.
Misleading URLs on the Internet that point you to sites containing harmful materials rather than what you were looking for.
Anyone who wants to send you photos or videos containing obscene content of individuals 18 and younger. (The possession, manufacturing, or distributing of child pornography is illegal.)
Online enticement for offline sexual activities. (No one should be making sexual invitations to you online – and it’s an especially serious crime for adults to do it.)

If any of the above happens to you or a friend, tell an adult you trust and report it to Net Alert (http://www.netalert.gov.au/advice/reporting.html)

If you know about a child who is in immediate danger or risk, call 000 or contact your local police.

Harrassment & bullying

When you’re online, especially in bulletin boards or chatrooms, you may get messages that are mean or hurtful. Don’t take it personally. Sometimes even people who are nice in the “real” world can forget their manners when online. What’s the best thing to do if you encounter such messages or people who send them? Ignore them. If someone sends you messages or images that are indecent, lewd, or obscene with the intent to abuse, annoy, harass, or threaten you, report it.

Hurting Others

Avoid anything that may hurt or offend people. Don’t risk getting into trouble. You need to respect other people’s privacy, so don’t do anything to annoy, harass, or hurt other people. You are responsible for your behavior online.

These are all important notes to take on board, since many kids fall into these loop holes. good to teach a new user all these notes.
