Online Safety Resources

The Project Safe Childhood Program in the U.S. Attorney's office has shared some information with us: "As a result of school closings due to COVID-19, children are increasingly using online resources for schoolwork as well as entertainment. Because of this, children may also be more vulnerable to online sexual exploitation. The United States Attorney’s Office and Homeland Security Investigations have partnered to develop an awareness campaign, Think Before You Click, to encourage parents and guardians to discuss internet safety with children of all ages and to continue to monitor internet use."
