The Delaware Attorney General’s Office announced its summer Internet safety presentation schedule to help educate kids about ways to protect themselves online.
“During summer months, kids can be at a greater risk of becoming the victim of a predator because of the increased amount of time available to be online,” stated Patricia Dailey Lewis, director of the Family Division. “Being aware of dangers on the internet along with some basic measures to avoid them is the critical first step in protecting yourself.”
The Attorney General’s office will lead the following presentations this month:
Monday, July 27 at the Smyrna Clayton Boys & Girls Club, Smyrna; Tuesday, July 28 at the Greater Newark Boys & Girls Club, Newark; and Wednesday, July 29, at the Claymont Boys & Girls Club, Claymont.
Every time a child goes online, he or she is at risk of being contacted by a predator, with statistics revealing that one in every seven children has been sexually solicited on the Internet. That is why an essential part of Attorney Gen. Beau Biden’s fight to protect children from predators is giving kids the real-world tools they need to keep themselves safe online.
Since spring 2007, Biden and his staff have led 34 internet safety presentations for more than 16,000 young people, educators and parents.
