Web site his dad had helped him locate. But after
a few mouse clicks, she wasn‟t on the game site
anymore. She tried getting back to the game site
using the back arrows. It didn‟t work!
It was a different place that wasn‟t fun
anymore. The words made her feel uncomfortable.
What would you do?

she ask for help from a trusted
adult?
That‟s the best thing to do!
• Sometimes a website is made so that it will not let
you exit or get out of it, no matter how much you
click!It‟s not your fault.

about the „close box‟ in the corner of a web page,
you can click that.
