Internet Safety Presentation Announced by Bergen County Prosecutor's Office
The Computer Crimes Unit hopes to raise parents' awareness of online predators and the dangers that is only a mouse-click away from their child's grasp.
As time marches on and technology continues to develop, internet safety becomes an increasingly important issue. The Bergen County Prosecutor’s Office Computer Crimes Unit will be presenting an in-depth presentation on the subject.
The presentation, entitled “Staying Safe in Cyberspace – Internet Safety for Parents,” is a comprehensive examination of today’s Internet and the dangers that lurk inside chat rooms, instant messages, e-mail and blogs.
“The explosion of the Internet has proven to be most influential with the youngest of generations, namely our children,” said Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli. “Protecting them on the World Wide Web, a truly unregulated atmosphere, is a tremendous task that needs to begin at home, where children are indeed most vulnerable.”
