Debbie, I loved this paragraph from the article: We also are seeing signs of an emerging recognition that the Web 1.0 Internet safety approach -- based on simplistic, fear-based rules -- is ineffective. Simple rules still are appropriate for young children, for whom adults bear the primary safety responsibility. ‘Tweens and teens, however, need to know what the risks are, know how to avoid risky situations, how to detect whether they are at risk, how to respond effectively, when to ask for help, and how to make good choices.
