        Cyber Safe


         

        CMSD is committed to raising awareness and providing resources for children, parents and our community about the digital dangers that surround us every day. It is important for us to be informed of the potential dangers and empower children to make good decisions in their digital use and citizenship.

        Netsmartz.org, a web resource from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, offers a comprehensive guide about these digital dangers. This is a good starting point for educating ourselves about these dangers and facilitating a conversation with your child.

         
         

        Digital Concerns


         

        Children are especially vulnerable

        We teach children to respect others and obey adults and authority. This, in combination with desensitized behaviors/attitudes from mainstay media about sex, drugs and violence, can lead a dangerous decisions. As parents, knowing the potential risks, setting guidelines and enforcing them are key to keeping your child safe.

        Personal Identity/Citizenship

        To use most online programs and services you need to make an user account. Managing your digital persona across these different offerings (social media, websites, services, mobile apps) is hard enough for adults let alone our children. Making decisions about disclosing personal information is key to managing your digital identity.

        Peer Pressure

        Social Media, text and chat rooms are just a few of the services that allow our children to be vulnerable to manipulation to provide too much information or be exploited into something they normally would not do. Sexting and Cyberbullying are two potential results that adults need to monitor for constantly.
