Educating the Child Client
Replay track 7 for more information on this technique.
Parents of sexually abused clients review and implement following list of procedures to monitor child’s online activity.
-
Everyone you meet online is a stranger—even your "friends." A stranger is a stranger until you know them well and have your parents’ approval. That cannot happen until you meet face to face. Online friends are still strangers because you have not met them in person.
-
Don’t believe everything you read when chatting online. Anyone can say anything in live chat or in e-mail. That 17 year old sweet-talking boy online may not be 17 and may not even be a boy
-
Don’t give out personal information online to strangers. Avoid giving out your family name, home phone numbers, or your address to strangers online.
-
Don’t rush. Meeting someone online and then arranging to meet the following week is reckless and dangerous. Give it time. If they are rushing you, be suspicious.
-
Any successful friendship must be based on honesty. It’s easy to exaggerate or deceive with online communications. But successful friendships are based on common interests and honesty. Don’t lie about yourself as you begin to make friends online.
-
Don’t even think about meeting offline without discussing it with your parents. If they want to meet you alone, be suspicious. If they don’t want you to tell your parents about them, be suspicious. Involve your parents just like with school friends.
-
Tell your parents or a trusted adult if someone says anything to upset you online or shows you a picture that upsets you, makes you scared or disgusts you. Don’t keep it to yourself. It is not your fault that it happened.
-
Running away is a bad move. Running away from your family to be with someone you met online won’t solve your problems. There is a high chance that the person you are running to will be a bad person and you will get hurt.
