Cyber Predators Online predators are adult online users who seek to exploit vulnerable children or adolescents. Cyber predators use information and communications technology and the Internet to locate, target, and victimize minors. Don’t download images from an unknown source. Don’t reveal personal info, especially age and gender, or family info online. Don’t continue communication if it gets too personal, and don’t keep it to yourself – tell someone. Don’t agree to meet someone in person that you’ve met online.

The VDOE says… The Internet is a powerful tool that should be used wisely. Students should be taught specifically how to maximize the Internet’s potential while protecting themselves from potential abuse. Not all Internet information is valid or appropriate. Internet messages and the people who send them are not always what or who they seem. Predators and cyberbullies anonymously use the Internet to manipulate students – avoid dangerous situations and get adult help. Playing games and downloading music or video files can be enjoyable, but know which activities are safe and which are legal.
