This is the fifth tip in our seven-day Back To School Safety Countdown; please discuss this tip with your child:
Remember that not everyone on the Internet has good intentions. Do not communicate with people you don't know. If you have a Facebook or MySpace page, set it to private so that you know who's looking at your page. Parents should monitor their childrens' Internet use closely to make sure nothing inappropriate is going on.
Also, look for CCSO banners reminding everyone that school starts Aug. 19. The banners are at the Collier County Government Center, Pelican Marsh Elementary School, Big Cypress Elementary School, Shadowlawn Elementary School, and Corkscrew Elementary School.
CCSO community service deputies' trucks are also carrying the countdown message.
