Text Box: Character Counts at BES “The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.” - Lyndon B. Johnson This month’s Character Trait is Citizenship. As citizens of the United States, each eligible adult has the opportunity to vote in the presidential election process. Get out and vote! Good citizens help protect the Earth. Good citizens stay informed. Good citizens obey rules and laws. Good citizens work to make their community better.

BES Home & School Connection

As your children interact on the Internet, you need to be aware that they may be exposed to people who don’t have their best interests in mind.  If your children ever tell you that someone has asked them to meet offline, find out as much as you can about the situation.  Save any communication to your computer; if there is illegal activity, a record of the conversation can be powerful evidence in court.  Report any of these types of incidents to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children’s CyberTipline at www.cybertipline.com.  Contact your local police department if you suspect your child is in immediate danger.

 

Your child will not always be contacted to meet offline by someone dangerous.  If you are comfortable with the idea of your child meeting in person with another child he or she first met online, arrange it by contacting that child’s parents, and accompany your child to the meeting in a public place.

 

Always encourage your children to talk to you about their online experiences.
