Oh, wow. The Disney Channel has a "public service announcement" on internet safety, targeting 6-14 year olds. I am shocked at how different these "internet rules of the road" are from the ones I was taught at that age. Mine were limited to "don't give out your name" (presumably with the never-uttered underlying fear: or sexual predators will get you). No one would ever have thought to say "Be careful what you put online; it never goes away, ever" back then, much less make it the first rule of the internet.
This PSA, more than anything else I've ever seen, really brings home to me how far the internet has come. And I'm really, really proud of the people who put it together. They get it, and that's a wondrous and admirable thing.
Unfortunately I can't find a transcription. :( I do recommend watching it for teh nostalgia, though.
