If you're a child I love, please read!

Because I love you, let me give you some tips on staying safe (I know, BORING MOM again):

Tip 1: If anything happens that ever makes you feel uncomfortable.  You CAN tell me.  I CAN help you and we WILL figure it out.  If you're targeted by someone that makes you feel uncomfortable, it's not your fault. 

Tip 2: I'd like for you to not talk to strangers.  If you don't take that advice, don't share personal information about yourself or share photos, and never agree to meet up with a stranger you met online.  If you have an interest in this, let's talk about it.

Tip 3: Not everyone is telling you the truth, not everyone is as good as you and the people in your life that you trust.  Remember, the internet allows for a whole lot of acting. If you see anything graphic or someone messages you in an inappropriate way, that's usually a red-flag they're not your age.  After all, did you get on here to send inappropriate photos to "new friends?" 

Tip 4: Everything on the internet lives forever, be safe and respectful.

Tip 5: IMPORTANT: Again, if anything ever happens, tell me. I love you no matter what and you're not alone.  There's nothing we can't figure out. 

I love you!
