Media Safety

Like most parents, Attorney General Roy Cooper is concerned about children seeing or hearing inappropriate content on television, at the movies, on the Internet, in music, or in video games.

There is also the growing threat of child predators who go online to stalk their victims. As a parent, the best way to protect your children is to monitor what they watch, look at, listen to and play.

Voluntary rating guidelines can help parents determine what is and is not suitable material for their children.
