Some chatting tips

• Use a nickname that does not say too much about
  you
• (for example SiLLyBee, dOnlyOne, BrwnEydGrl,
  web_dude101)
• Dont give out personal information (which city
  you live in, which school you go to, etc.)
• Dont send out pictures of yourself - especially
  to people you dont know in real life
• Dont meet with people you only know from the
  internet - especially not alone or without anyone
  knowing where you are going
• If you talk to someone online often, tell a
  friend, a sibling or a parent

The REAL deal

• People One general rule
• Ask yourself if you or anyone else can be harmed
  by what you are doing
• Relationships One key question
• Is the way you treat people online different from
  how you treat them offline?
• Feelings One important reminder
• Be prepared to take responsibility for what you
  do online

Not everyone is out there to get you...
BUT you should be aware of some risks
23
An example Katrinas story

• In 2003, 12 year old Katrina (from Ontario) was
  chatting online when she started receiving
  sexually explicit advances. She was allegedly
  propositioned for sex during an hour-long chat.
  She was also asked to send a pair of her panties
  to the person she was online with. Later, two
  telephone calls were made to the Katrinas home
  from the person she had met online.
• Katrinas mother found out and contacted the
  police who eventually
• arrested the 38 year old cyberpredator who
  was chatting with Katrina
• and charged him with invitation to sexual
  touching and child luring.

24
Luring tactics

• They might offer you
• Assistance, bribes or gifts
• Affection
• Jobs (modeling, acting, or anything)
• Others may
• Threaten you
• Try to show authority over you
• Claim they are in an emergency situation
