Use Google’s “Safe Search Filter” and set up parental controls on devices wherever possible. 3 Avoid Isolation: locate the computer in a central location where others can see the screen. Avoid allowing youth to use mobile devices without others present. 4 Guard Personal Information: avoid clicking on “pop - ups” or downloading software, music, or video from websites you don’t trust. Install anti -virus/spyware software and keep your device updated. 5 Don’t Respond, Save the Evidence, and Report anything that you believe is inappropriate.
