Are your children using web sites like MySpace and Facebook to connect with their friends? Do you know what information they are sharing online? To help parents get a better understanding of the online social networks being used today, Senior Supervisory Special Agent Fred Neal will talk with parents during an Operation Safe Surf presentation on Tuesday, March 25 at 7:00 p.m. at the Peters Township Public Library. He will present parents with suggestions to help reduce the opportunity and likelihood that their child could be victimized.
Operation Safe Surf is sponsored by Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett to help educate kids and parents about the importance of being safe online. It provides parents with resources and tools to help their children learn how to protect themselves while still enjoying all the benefits of the Internet.
Special Agent Neal, the programs presenter, has held positions in Law Enforcement for over 30 years. He has spent two decades as an agent with the PA Attorney General's Office, conducting and supervising undercover drug efforts. The last 2 years he has served as the Regional Director for Narcotics Investigations in Southwest Pa. During this time, the Attorney General’s office has uncovered many situations in which the internet has been involved in criminal activity.
This program is suitable for adults only. Pre-register for this free program at the library's circulation desk or call 724-941-9430.
