Child Internet Safety Event

January 27, 2019, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM @ The Branch Library

Webcam chats or even face-to-face meetings that can lead to sexual exploitation by predators. Social media gives predators the chance to build a kind of shared online experience which will result in them becoming the child's defender or playmate. After defeating a tough boss or exploring a new area in the game, predators form a bond with younger gamers and build a set of shared experiences that lead to a more personal question. Parents need to combat this problem teaching and monitoring your children about online risks with yourself attending the "Child Internet Safety Event".
