Parent Internet Safety Links

State of Michigan Child Protection Registry
Allows you to add your child's e-mail address, instant messenger ID, mobile phone numbers, etc. to a secure database.  Children are forbidden from purchasing certain products and services under Michigan law. Once an e-mail address or electronic contact point has been registered, senders of messages that advertise or link to prohibited products or services are required to remove the contact point from their mailing lists within 30 days.  You may also register complaints on this website.
