Parenting: Online Safety Tips For Your Children

Local police share tips on how to keep your children safe from criminals online.

From Fremont Police

Now that the school year is well under way, it's likely that your children are spending more time on the computer.  

We'd like to ask all parents to pay close attention to what their children are doing on-line and suggest that all household computers be set up in family gathering areas and not in private bedrooms or other secluded spaces.

While computers are essential and offer so much to explore and learn from, we have to remember that the Internet can also be a very vulnerable place for children to roam.  

With that in mind, we'd like to share a recent publication from the FBI that provides parents with resources, tips and answers to better understand Internet safety.  

This publication is a MUST read for all parents.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

Really? It isn't a private family matter? Then why was the Sheriff of SF County allowed to make thisRead More claim and plea bargain down so he could keep his guns?

What if I went to my boss and told him he would now pay me 100% more? He would laugh and probablyRead More fire me. The truth is we have no choice but to pay this 100% increase. We are taxed to death in this country partially to pay for crap like this and now this?????? Your organization already receives 60 million$ a year of our money however we are still at your mercy when you decide to raise our rates by 100% furthermore yours is the only service that has no option to pay online without a outrageous service fee???? And you say we should be "glad" FUCK YOU!

Everybody is serviced with the water through these old pipes. No matter how much you use, if yourRead More water is interupted for weeks or months after a major earthquake, you home is rendered "UNLIVABLE". They could have raised your "TAX ASSESSMENT" each year just like Garbage and Yard Disposal but that would be unfair to the homes that are unoccupied or are rentals. The rental owner would just raise the rents to cover it but they ususally take a 200% bonus on the rent so the landloard can take a "piece of the Action". Once a Tax Assessment goes on your property tax, it never comes off. Remember, the Water is FREE...it is the service that gets it from the source to your kitchen sink or bath that costs money. Be Glad the Oil and Gas companies have not made your water unfit to drink in Amameda County....YET.
