• It is not my fault if I get a message like that. If I do I will tell my parents right away so that they can contact the online service.
• I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online, and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission.
