The most effective way to protect children on the Internet is to supervise use and review all email messages and other correspondence. Under law, theft of a contact point from the Child Protection Registry is a second degree felony. While every attempt will be made to secure the Child Protection Registry, registrants and their guardians should be aware that their contact points may be at a greater risk of being misappropriated by marketers who choose to disobey the law.”

(5) The contents of the registry, and any complaint filed about a sender who violates this chapter, are not subject to public disclosure under Title 63G, Chapter 2, Government Records Access and Management Act.
(6) The state shall promote the registry on the state's official Internet website.
