In the September 2007 issue of Consumer Reports on page 32-33 in a special highlighted box #6 is listed: "Use public computers with care. Avoid using computers at libraries, hotels or airports conducting financial or other personal business. The same goes for using your own computer on a public wireless network, especially if you're not on a secured Web page or haven't disabled your system's computer-to-computer connections." [Have they seen Monday afternoons and evenings at our branch?]
In a teen program here at the branch that we gave on Internet security we handed out 2 items. One was an informational brochure from the Harris County Sheriff's Department, which was actually based on a more detailed work from the National Crime Prevention Council, entitled "Cybersafety for Kids Online: A Parent's Guide". Copies are free and available in quantity, simply by calling the Harris County Sheriff's Department Crime Prevention Unit at 713.759.9454.
The second item was from the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, Fact Sheet 21: Children's Online Privacy. This is available at www.privacyrights.org
