Families can talk about the safety issues discussed on this site. Have your kids or their friends ever been cyberbullied? What steps do they take to protect their privacy on social networking sites?

Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 

LMK (cyber-speak for "let me know") takes a refreshingly common-sense approach to online safety: Be savvy -- not scared -- and teach your friends what you've learned. The information provided is smart and thorough (though sometimes a bit redundant), and teens should appreciate hearing what their peers have to say on the subject. Editorially, the site is a little rough around the edges, but it's off to a good start.
