” HOW TO PROTECT OUR KIDS IN THE CYBER WORLD” BY TRACY WEBB
SHERMAN OAKS, CA (January 23, 2012) – The Help Group Distinguished Lecturer Series will feature a special presentation by cyber-crime expert Tracy Webb – How to Protect Our Kids in the Cyber World: Strategies for Parents & Professionals – on Thursday, January 31, 6:30-8:30 p.m. In this informative and engaging presentation open to the community at large, Ms. Webb will provide tools to aid parents, educators and mental health professionals in helping children and teens take advantage of the benefits of today’s fast-growing technology while staying safe online.
Young people spend increasing amounts of time on the internet – instant messaging, texting, emailing, and posting images on social sites like Instagram and Facebook. It can be a challenge for parents and professionals to understand and monitor the ever-changing technology and ensure their children are protected from online predators.
