Keeping children safe online can be a challenge.  Talk to your
children about what they do and where they go online.  Ask to see
your child's bookmarks or favorites, blogs, personal pages or any
other recently visited pages.  Ask to see your child's chat-room
conversation logs as well.  Know what your children do online; help
keep them safe from internet predators.  

If you have concerns about your child's online activity and are not
sure what to do, we can help.  Stop by the station office or call us
at (503) 429-7335.  If we do not answer your call, please leave a
message so we can get back to you promptly.
