Here's some more info recommended by Bullying Online:

"If you come across anything seriously inappropriate online contact Wired Safety at www.wiredsafety.org , or the Internet Watch Foundation at www.iwf.org.uk . These organisations are not concerned with material which you may not like, they are there to combat serious issues involving pedophiles. You should also report concerns about anyone your child is contacting on the internet to the police." (emphasis mine)

Mind sticky-ing this with the attorney's advice? It's too valuable to be lost in the shuffle. Needs easy access to help everyone, IMHO.

Done stepping on toes.

Some other great sites are:

www.safeteens.com
www.safekids.com

And a really great one for searching things (especially people if you find a person suspicious and want to know if they really are who they say.)

www.grokker.com
www.vivisimo.com

I learned about them today at my school. Quite interesting, if you ask me. :D

Security on the Internet is simply - does not go to suspicious websites, do not open the links, download files only from roverennyh, trusted sites, such as http://www.raritysoft.com/ , The PC should remain personal. There are many antivirus programs and applications that will help to restrict access to suspicious sites.

As Snowden and Wikileaks have shown us, there is no safe place on the internet...it's all a matter of who is watching you
