Expert Shares Tips & Tools to Keep Kids Safe Online

At the beginning of the year, CCSD93 hosted Detective Rich Wistocki for a Keeping Kids Safe Online parent presentation that truly proved to be an eye-opening event about parenting in the digital era. Among the areas Detective Wistocki shed light on were ways that predators use the apps and online spaces that young people occupy to take advantage of and manipulate kids of all ages, and methods and tools that parents and their children can use to be empowered to avoid worrisome and potentially compromising situations. 

If you didn’t have the opportunity to watch the event live, I strongly recommend you take the time to view it online by visiting www.ccsd93.com/kkso or clicking the image below. It will be linked there through September, so be sure to watch it before it’s gone!
