Internet Guidelines for teenagers
More teenagers are being Internet users in the digital age. Parents must help their children to develop self-discipline, respect others online, and not become victims and perpetrators.
Letter to Parents
To keep parents abreast of the tactics and trends of the latest cyber pitfalls, the Hong Kong Police Force regularly publishes “Letters to Parents” through this page, to protect teenagers from cyber challenges more comprehensively.
General Tips for Parents
The most important thing is that parents should lead by example, have good ethics and moral standards, and respect intellectual property rights, be a responsible netizen, and be a role model for their children. Here are some tips for cultivating good online habits for your children:
Establish rules for using the Internet with your children
Let children understand and abide by appropriate online rules to ensure that they browse the Internet safely, such as how to deal with online passwords, set a schedule for browsing, and appropriate behaviors.
Respect others
Regardless of the real world or the cyber world, people should establish mutual respect and treat each other with courtesy. When publishing comments, people should take into account the feelings of others, whether they will hurt others.
Cultivate the law abiding awareness
Parents should teach their children that they must abide by the law, whether in the real world or in the cyber world. The following are some common misconducts on the Internet for reference:
- Buy and sell drugs online
- Disclosing the personal information of others without consent
- Attack or invade other computers or networks
- Publish child pornography
- Spread misinformation on the Internet
- Online bullying
- Naked chat
- Use or copy illegal or cracked software
Seek assistance
If teenagers find some strange, offensive, online bullying and harassing behaviors on the Internet, they should inform their parents or trusted ones about the matter as soon as possible, and call the police for assistance if necessary.
