Newsgroups, Forums, and Bulletin Boards – remember not to
slip and say anything that can reveal your identity age (little pieces of info
can be put together over time)
[You give out your school
colors, and two conversations ago you said you were from a town by Seattle, and
in another conversation you said the school mascot was the hawk – and you’ve
just told someone where you are]
Profiles – be sure they do not reveal your town, name, school,
Website – if you build a website – do not put any
specific information on it (even code that isn’t displayed can be read by
anyone) Do not register it with your name
E. Meeting

Chat rooms are particularly

with misleading names such as

Never arrange a face-to-face meeting with
someone you meet online
(You have no way of really knowing if that person is a 15
year old boy – or a 50 year old man.)
