Internet Safety
Keeping Our Kids Safe While Using the Internet

For the sake of their children, as well as for their own sakes, parents must learn and practice the skills of discerning viewers and listeners and readers, acting as models of prudent use of media in the home.  As far as the internet is concerned, children and young people often are more familiar with it than their parents are, but parents still are seriously obliged to guide and supervise their children in its use.                                 Pope John Paul II, “Ethics in Communication,” 2002
