Grades 6-8: Internet Safety FREE


Special WVIZ ideastream
Distance Learning Program

“Internet Safety for Youth”

The Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office has created an initiative in partnership with Project Love to prevent youth gang involvement and delinquency through a new program called READI4Youth (Reduce Crime, Empower, Advise, Dream Initiative for Youth). READI4Youth was launched to address the startling realities faced by today’s youth.

On March 11, 2008 a special distance learning program entitled Internet Safety for Youth will be available to your students. The director of the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) and law enforcement personnel will lead a discussion with 6th, 7th, and 8th graders aimed at educating youth on the dangers of the Internet. Students will learn about Internet predators and the ways in which they exploit children, as well as what safety measures they can take to protect themselves and their friends. The session will be broadcast live from the WVIZ/PBS studio. Join us for this FREE program and plan to have your students participate in what will be a very dynamic and educational interactive presentation.
