Together for a safer internet - Internet safety Days

Internet Safety

The best tool we have to prevent Internet crimes against children is education and continued conversation. If you're looking for ways to educate yourself, your children, co-workers, teachers, etc., we have compiled videos and resources that offer a variety of tools for learning and teaching how to safely use the Internet.

Protect Our Youth Online: #StartTheConversation

There are two major events each year that highlight Internet Safety, Safer Internet Day (Feb) and Internet Safety Month (June). Although these events highlight the need for Internet Safety, it is our responsibility EVERY DAY to provide protective factors for youth to safety use technology. Many years ago, we said “put the computer in a common room”. Today, our message is about a conversation. A conversation that highlights the good, and the not so good and dangerous aspects of technology use. We strongly urge all parents and guardians, educators, and child protection professionals to #StartTheConversation about technology safety. The many resources below can help inform and protect our families.

"The Internet holds tremendous potential for our nation's youth; however, the misuse of the Internet to prey on them is a serious problem requiring action by legislators, families, communities, and law enforcement.” Pew Research Center
