Keeping kids safe banner ad

OHIO -- Children today are more connected to the world than any generation in history.  

They have access to information and social networks at their fingertips, but with opportunity comes danger – predators lurking in the shadows of the internet. With the summer quickly approaching, now is the time to be informed about the dangers of our digital world. Parents often tell their children not talk to strangers and issue directions on how to stay safe in public places like malls and playgrounds. But how many parents give those same warnings about interactions on the internet? 

Our panel of experts:

  • U.S. Attorney: Justin Herdman
  • FBI Special Agent in Charge: Eric Smith
  • Cleveland Metropolitan Schools Psychologist: Bill Stencil
