Do you really know who you're talking to? When you chat on the internet When you play some online games It's like playing 'russian roulette’ You think you're talking to a youngster But it could be a grown-up Hoping for a pic of you Taken in close-up They'll chat to you and suss you out They'll flatter and cajole Even though your mum and dad Have installed parental control They may try to groom you And arrange for you to meet We need to teach our children To be far more discreet To never disclose where they're living Or where they go to school If they have serious misgivings To tell a parent is not uncool The internet can be great Helpful information it can provide Don't leave it too late In an adult you must confide Be vigilant, keep yourself safe Don't keep suspicions inside Report suspect net users Don't give them time to hide

The Dangers of the Net
Do you really know who you're talking to? When you chat on the internet When you play some online games It's like playing 'russian roulette’ You think you're talking to a youngster But it could be a grown-up Hoping for a pic of you Taken in close-up They'll chat to you and suss you out They'll flatter and cajole Even though your mum and dad Have installed parental control They may try to groom you And arrange for you to meet We need to teach our children To be far more discreet To never disclose where they're living Or where they go to school If they have serious misgivings To tell a parent is not uncool The internet can be great Helpful information it can provide Don't leave it too late In an adult you must confide Be vigilant, keep yourself safe Don't keep suspicions inside Report suspect net users Don't give them time to hide
