Are your
children safe while online? Michigan
families, especially minors, are becoming inundated with advertisements from
alcohol, tobacco, pornography and gambling marketers through different internet
and cell phone in-boxes. Thankfully, the State of Michigan offers a free program to stop adult
advertisements from reaching e-mails, mobile phones (text messaging ads), and instant
messenger IDs.
The
Michigan Child Protection Registry was created in 2004 as a do-not-contact
service for Michigan
families. It is a free, state administered program that allows Michigan’s families to
protect their households from adult-oriented messages. You can register e-mail
addresses, mobile phone numbers, instant messenger IDs, and fax numbers. Registering
your addresses is quick and easy. Go to www.protectmichild.com, click “Protect Your Household
Addresses,” and follow the steps to register your household addresses.
We strongly
support this registry and encourage you to sign your entire family up for this
free program offered to residents of the State of Michigan. Registrations last for three years.
