Keeping Children Safe: An Internet Workshop Presented by: Tom Hanna, LifeNET, Inc. Michael Stephani, President, Exotrope, Inc. Rusk Jones, Co-Founder, KidsNeedUs.ComIn many ways, the Internet has become a source of very serious worries and concerns in parenting. The millions of pages of pornography on the worldwide web, the well-documented instances of chat-rooms turning into the hunting ground for pedophiles should be a concern for all adults. But it is not just sex. It is also violence. Children who may be at the tipping point for school violence are known to have used the Internet as a source of information on building bombs, and as a source of psychological support for their more dangerous fantasies. What is a parent to do? Are the software packages that promise to serve as “watchdogs” adequate to protect children? This workshop will provide parents and others with expert, practical information on the role that Internet technology can — and can’t — play in keeping children safe in a dangerous world.
