What Should I Do If... From the Direct Marketing Association's Get CyberSavvy website, this is a list of realistic situations to consider. It applies to teens or to any child who is allowed to use the Internet unsupervised at home (a no-no in TekMom's opinion). It is designed for parent and child to work through together. Highly Recommended
