  14. Parent Document for Kids • I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parent's work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parent's permission. • I will tell my parents right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable. • I will never agree to get together with someone I "meet" online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my mother or father along. • I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents. • I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that. If I do I will tell my parents right away so that they can contact the online service. • I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online, and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission. • For further information on child safety, please call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678).
