Family Websurfing

Green Light means that these sites and activities are safe. It means you can relax a bit when your children surf there. But remember that before any child begins surfing the Web they have to be prepared for red light risks, such a people who want to lure them into face-to-face meetings, and inappropriate content they may encounter. They have to be taught how to handle yellow light concerns, like how to search safely and what information they can share online.
