Here is a content overview of this Fact Sheet.

"Many children are skilled navigators of the Internet. They are
comfortable using computers and are fascinated by the information and
images that can be explored at the click of a mouse. Recent figures show
that 90% of school-age children have access to computers either at home or
at school. The Internet offers children and youth tremendous opportunities
to explore new ideas, visit foreign lands, meet other children, and
participate in challenging games. But like the real world, aspects of the
virtual world can be dangerous and harmful to children.

Parents, teachers and other guardians cannot always be on hand to prevent
children and youth from visiting web sites with harmful or objectionable
content. Nor can they always be available to discuss with children what
they are encountering in the online world.

The words "harmful" and "objectionable" can be interpreted in many ways.
In the online world, they are often used to describe pornography,
profanity, and hate speech. In this guide, we use these terms to also
describe advertising messages and images that are highly manipulative of
children.

The guide provides resources for parents to maximize the benefits of
cyberspace for children and minimize the dangers. It is divided into six
sections:

Summary of privacy and safety tips
Online marketing to children
Harmful material and filtering
Online safety for chat and instant messages
Spam to minors
Online privacy and safety resources
6a. Resources for teens
Directory of organizations."

The entire Fact Sheet may be read at the URL above.

Another excellent resource for information and resources regarding the
saftey and privacy issues for children on the internet is the Educational
Cyberplayground.
