ali Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Hi Everyone, I try to go through the young section as often as I can, but don't always catch every message or thread. Generally there isn't a problem, but we've had one young lad whose given out his email and msn addy in almost every post - so I have deleted the address, not sure his mum or dad know if he's registered or not - so just a reminder if you could to check with your youngsters to make sure their using the site as safely as they can be and not posting any addys. Also, if you notice they have been posted, please give myself or one of the other mods a shout as we can edit posts. Thank you Mrs Keily and Kdal for your words of wisdom about safety on the young peoples threads. Thanks Ali x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Gollywobbler Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thanks Cal, I forgot to make it a sticky thread (in a rush this morning) Ali Hi Ali Thank you. Not having any children myself, and since I confine my own efforts with the Internet to things like PiO and the DIAC website, I was really unsure what (if anything) to do about young Jack yesterday. The child appears to have registered with the site independently of his Parents. I would join with Ali, Jo & Cal in urging ALL adult Members of PIO to keep an eye on your children's use of the site.

Guest AnnabelCandy Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 My kids always send emails using loads and I mean loads of animated smiley type things which mean their emails end up in the junk mail bin! A bit sad, I am trying to get them out of it:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted June 29, 2009 Author Share Posted June 29, 2009 Hi all, I got a pm today off one of our parents informing me that one of our junior members was initially contacted via the pm facility of the site. I don't know if this person pretended to be another junior member, but msn address was given out and our junior member was subject to rather intimidating messages and trying to get an address. Can I ask parents to be extra cautious, ask your children who use the site if they have received any innappropriate messages, remind them of internet safety and please pass on any information to us.

Guest Bubblez Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I know this is an old thread, so I hope it's alright if I post. I feel very strongly about this. I think too many young children are never taught that the internet isn't just inside their home. I think too many kids think it's "private" and "safe" and they don't realize that MILLIONS of people are out there that can get their info. Even I as a child accidentally gave out my phone number or something of that nature online and my dad was freaking out. I think he had just expected me to know better so he felt terrible. Nothing bad came of it but still.. it's better to talk to your kids and be safe. Better safe than sorry. have fun kids!:cute: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 Hi Bubblez, I never feel that it does any harm to post on old threads like this as it really is an important topic. My 10 year old is now venturing into the cyber world and we have this discussion a lot. Even on PIO we don't know everyone and people don't have to be a member to view the boards so it's upto us to keep trying to get the message of internet safety accross to those younger members who use the site. Thanks for your contribution to the thread ... it's a really important one xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Loopyl Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Nightmare my daughter has just started on this site looking for friends before we move to Perth at the end of the year. I will keep a close eye on her she is quite responsible but still would not like her to be in that position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest shirlypeng Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I wonder what kind of message is considered to be dangerous message? For i have ever sent sveral meaages through PM. I am afraid of mine become one of those innappropriate messages. Dear, Ali, please let me knwo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ali Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 Inappropriate messages would be anything that is sent to one of our younger members that is explict/sexual in nature. We would be concerned if someone was trying to get lots of personal information from our younger members too. We ask that parents be aware of their childrens activity on the forum, know their passwords so they can check any personal messages etc., Ali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
