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.

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 Michigan Child Protection Registry, select “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.
