We urge all parents to educate their children about online safety and the need to protect their personal information.
In addition, for children to use screen names on the MyFootprints.com service, we require parental consent at the time the screen name is created.

Unsolicited e-mail is a problem for everyone, but it is particularly a problem for children. This includes mail that could contain content you may not want your children to see, or mail that may ask for information you would not want your children to give out. Remember that screen names and information volunteered by children and teens in public chat rooms, e-mail exchanges, message boards, and other online communications are publicly available and may be used by other parties to generate unsolicited e-mail and for other purposes.
