Internet Safety
for Families
Cyber crimes are
not only fast growing, but can also be overwhelming for parents
to try to control. Smithfield Police Department is also
concerned for the safety of our families, and wants to provide
you with as many resources as possible to keep yourself
informed. Parents can visit
NetSmartz to educate themselves, and direct their children
to be safer as they browse online. We encourage you to
visit
NetSmartz and use their online tools including activities,
public service announcements, and safety pledges.
The Cyber TipLine
is, "The
Congressionally mandated CyberTipline is a reporting mechanism
for cases of child sexual exploitation including child
pornography, online enticement of children for sex acts,
molestation of children outside the family, sex tourism of
children, child victims of prostitution, and unsolicited obscene
material sent to a child. Reports may be made 24-hours per day,
7 days per week online at www.cybertipline.com or by calling
1-800-843-5678" (from
