Fr many kids, the Internet is at their fingertips. Frm cmputers t smartphnes, a web f infrmatin is pen t them. Accrding t a new reprt, abut three ut f fur kids aged 12 t 15 cnnect the Internet using a mbile device frm time t time. Many yunger kids are nline t.
Julian Zeitlinger, 9, frm New Jersey, uses his cmputer t watch vides and play games. T keep him safe nline, his parents mnitr his web use and discuss Internet safety with him. "I ask my parents whether smething is nice r bad." Julian says.
Mbile devices ffer mre ways than ever t share persnal infrmatin. The infrmatin can be dangerus in the wrng hands. A study fund that 62% f children aged 8 t 17 have had an unpleasant nline experience.
Have yu ever had t enter a parent's e-mail address when signing up fr a website? That safety measure is there because f the Children's Online Privacy Prtectin Act(COPPA). The law says sites fr kids under 13 cannt cllect persnal infrmatin, such as a phne number r full name, withut a parent's permissin.

"There is a misunderstanding that if a site is fllwing COPPA, it is ttally safe," says privacy expert ShaiSamet. He runs kidSAFE, which checks whether a site meets kidSAFE standards and is safe. "It's imprtant that kids knw hw useful the Internet is but that it als can be dangerus if yu are nt careful." he adds.
