"The Three Little Pigs" - Who's afraid of little sweet sheep?

















Below is an article quoted from Disney.go.com:

While the Internet offers amazing opportunities for entertainment, education, connectivity, and more, anyone who goes online should understand basic Online Safety. Teaching these basics to your children is essential.

• When asked by friends or strangers, online or offline, never share Account IDs and Passwords.
• Don't reveal any personal identity information in your Screen Names, such as your birthday, hobbies, hometown or school.
• In any information exchange, like e-mail or chat, never give any personal information about yourself or someone else.
• Don't share photos of yourself, your family, or your home with people you meet online.
• Never open e-mails that come from unknown sources - DELETE them.
• If you receive mean or threatening comments online, don't respond. Log off and report the activity to your parents.
• Nothing you write on the Web is completely private. Be careful what you write and to whom.
• Never make plans to meet an online "friend" in person.
• WHEN IN DOUBT: Always ask your parents for help. If you're not sure, log off!
