• familiarise yourself and talk to your child about who they contact on-line

"Chatting online is a great way for children to keep in touch with friends and to meet new people from different cultures and backgrounds, but they need to be aware a small number of people they encounter in chat rooms may not be who they say they are and may have inappropriate reasons for contacting them." Said Professor David Flint, ABA Chairman (19/12/02)
