As university-based researchers in the area of children and cyberspace, we are interested in many of the findings of the NSBF study. In particular, the issue of girls' use of the Internet has been an area of focus for research that we have conducted in conjunction with Parry Aftab of CyberAngels. Due to the differential use of the web by girls compared to boys, it appears that interventions to promote safety need to address the varied use and its associated potential risk. In our online study of 10,800 adolescent girls, the respondents clearly indicated a preference for relationship oriented activities, such as email and instant messaging; however, these activities also had associated risks for personal safety and the nature of their social interactions. Although the adolescents generally had an awareness of recommended safety guidelines, trust and curiosity seem to be stronger guiding factors for online decisions of many girls. Moreover, parents and teachers did not take an active role in assisting many of these adolescents with their choices on the web. We are currently analyzing the data to determine the role that interventions (i.e., filtering, supervision, education) by adults (parents and teachers) have in mitigating the risk. Michael, as a professor in a College of Education, has infused this responsibility into his curriculum, and Ilene, as a professor of Child and Family Studies, has worked with mental health professionals to heighten their understanding of the role of the Internet in children's lives. While we celebrate the tremendous benefits of technology, we also need to acknowledge the risks. Awareness optimizes safety. How do others view the role and responsibility of adults in actively mitigating risk to children and youth online? Although we are aware of some work in this area (e.g. CyberAngels), what initiatives are currently being designed/implemented to assist adults in keeping children safe and responding to problems young people may encounter online?
