Digital Safety and Choices

Read each situation carefully. Choose safe, respectful actions and explain your thinking. If something online makes you feel unsafe, stop, save evidence if it is safe to do so, and tell a trusted adult.

The orchard group chat

Charlotte, Isla and Tevita are helping at a fruit orchard’s weekend stall. They use a group chat to plan their jobs. One evening, a new account joins and says it is a friend of a friend. It asks where the orchard is, what time the young people will be there, and for their phone numbers. Later, someone posts an unkind edited photo of Tevita and asks everyone to share it. Charlotte feels pressured to respond quickly.

1.The new account asks for the orchard location and their phone numbers. Which response is safest?
  • Share the details because the account knows a friend.
  • Do not share personal details; check with a trusted adult before replying.
  • Send only the orchard location, not phone numbers.
  • Ask the account to prove it is a friend by sending a password.
2.Why can the time and location of the orchard stall count as personal information in this situation? Give one reason.
3.Tevita’s photo has been edited and shared without permission. Name two safe actions Charlotte could take to help.

Think before you click

Use the idea of a digital footprint: online actions can be copied, saved or shared, even after a post is deleted.

4.Which statement best describes a digital footprint?
  • A record of traces left by online activity, such as posts, comments and searches.
  • Only the photos a person chooses to post publicly.
  • A private record that disappears whenever an account is closed.
  • A list of websites that only adults can see.
5.Isla wants to post a photo from the orchard. It shows a delivery label with a home address in the background. What should she do before posting?
6.A friend sends Charlotte a message saying, “Forward Tevita’s edited photo or we’ll leave you out of the chat.” What is the most respectful and safe choice?
  • Forward it once so the friend stops asking.
  • Refuse to share it, support Tevita, and tell a trusted adult if the pressure continues.
  • Make a mean edited photo of the friend in return.
  • Leave the group without telling anyone what happened.
7.Write a calm, clear message Charlotte could send to set a boundary about sharing the photo.

Make a safety plan

Good online safety includes privacy, respectful behaviour and asking for help. You do not have to handle an upsetting situation alone.

8.A person online keeps asking to meet privately and says, “Don’t tell anyone.” Give three steps Isla should take.
9.True or false: If a hurtful post is deleted, there is no need to tell anyone because it cannot have been saved.
TrueFalse
10.Name two trusted adults or support people Isla could talk to in Aotearoa New Zealand, and say what she could tell them.
11.Write one personal rule you would use before posting or forwarding something about another person.
