It's time to TAKE BACK THE NET and explore the Internet safely

According to a recent Microsoft Canada and Youthography survey 84% of respondents have had a discussion about the dangers of the Internet with their parents. But did you know that...

• 11% of children age 10-14 have been asked by a stranger for personal information
• 40% of children aged 9-17 have been bullied online
• 7 in 10 children believe the information they put online and send to friends is private
• Children aged 9-17 spend approximately 12-26 hours a week online

It's time to TAKE BACK THE NET and join forces with your children — or if you are someone's child, help your parents — so that we can all explore the Internet safely. This site has been created to help you work together to make everyone's online experiences as safe as possible. Read on to find out about how easy it is to stay safe online while ensuring everyone continues to have a rewarding and fun time.
