Peer-to-Peer (P2P) and BitTorrent

How can I make it safer?

Setting things up…

• Ensure you review any files your adolescent downloads prior to her/him viewing/listening/accessing the file.
• Monitor search terms used by your adolescent to locate files of interest.

Important discussions to have…

• Ensure your adolescent understands that s/he can talk to you about anything s/he comes across on the Internet without fear of losing computer privileges.
