To help educate kids and parents (and others as well) about online safety, Yahoo! put up Yahoo! Safely, a site that provides information about online threats and tips on the best wired practices. Yahoo! has localized the site for over 25 countries.
Yahoo! Safely's primary mission is to promote awareness and provide information to parents, educators, kids, and teens about how they can secure their virtual life. It features experts' advice, product reviews, and other resources that will help them establish a safe virtual community.
Parents who are fearful about letting their kids manage their own online accounts such as email or social media network profiles should consider going through the site with their kid or kids. This way, both parent and child can go through the site and use the featured topics as a starting point for their personal discussion.
The great thing about Yahoo! Safely is that it covers every possible subject that kids may encounter when they start exploring the virtual world—from choosing email account passwords, cyberbullying, and restricted sites.
