I just read an article in the Huffington Post by Larry Magid, a foremost Internet Safety Advocate. The article is right on target with today’s risks to our children online. Although I don't fully agree with everything, I certainly do not have the ex…

As a mother of three small children I am always cautious of the internet. I was shocked when my oldest son clicked on a seemingly innocent game and it was totally unacceptable. I am glad to see any movement made towards keeping things acceptable for…

Hi All.... Just had to make a stop by and throw a reminder up about how summer time is always a busy time for Internet Predators who a looking to prey upon children being left alone while parents are at work. It is so important to educate yourself a…

I have spoken to many parents and some kids in regards to Internet Safety, but on Monday and I believe Tuesday I will be speaking to 4 classes of 6th Graders in the Center County, Pa area. I am very excited but have to admit a bit nervous. 12 and 13…

I had to post this since it is local. This only proves that there is no where that this crime can't be committed. People think Central Pennsylvania is rural enough to be immune to this particular crime, but it is not. I have at least 3 instances whe…

Other Places On The Net Where You Can Find Bill

Protect Children Online Forum Welcome

Hello All who are visiting this forum. I hope it will become a hub for communication about the topic of Child Safety On The Net.
I know things here look pretty slow except for things I add here and there. I wanted it to be as informative as possible, with the benefit of interaction if people wanted to take advantage of that. So please feel free to express your views. No opinion will be turned away. I just hope for no vulgarity or the like. Everyone has an opinion and everyone is entitled to that opinion. Just do it respectfully and it will not be deleted. Sincerely, Bill
Please visit www.protectchildrenonline.org for more information on how you can protect your children while they are online. The goal is to educate yourself and your children about the dangers that are out on the Net...But to also keep in mind that for as much bad there is on the Web there is that much good. I have been adding a great deal of information to this Forum so it may be necessary to look in archived areas also. thanks so much for stopping by.
I also added a link to a missing child case from 1965 that occurred in my hometown of Tyrone, Pa...Just thought this would be a good place for the case to get more exposure. Here is the link: * Missing* Kathy Shea of Tyrone 1965

The Biggest Threat To Our Children Online

I just read an article in the Huffington Post by Larry Magid, a foremost Internet Safety Advocate. The article is right on target with today’s risks to our children online. Although I don't fully agree with everything, I certainly do not have the experience that Mr. Magid brings to the table. I am certainly thankful to those who share their experience and expertise no matter how little or great. Information is power and the more we have the better. I did have a small item that I would argue, onl… Continue

Finding safe sits online for children

As a mother of three small children I am always cautious of the internet. I was shocked when my oldest son clicked on a seemingly innocent game and it was totally unacceptable. I am glad to see any movement made towards keeping things acceptable for the family and am totally excited about the new Family Friendly YouTube available. It brings me comfort to know that they can watch it and they are not going to be exposed to sex,violence, swearing etc. Look it up at the following link http://www.Continue

Just An Update

Thought I would stop by and say Hi and let anyone who might pay attention to this at all know what I have been up to. I have been busy lately trying to put together a group of Law Enforcement Officers together to create something like the PA. Attorney's General Office Child Predator Unit. I believe the Local ICAC Affiliate out of Philadelphia may have gotten the wrong impression of what I wanted to accomplish. I believe he thinks I wanted to start a perverted-justice.com type scenario. That was… Continue

Child Safe Internet Social Networking - Is there such a thing?

I can say that the thought of a safe site for children to socialize on the Net sounds like Greek to me, but maybe I am starting to learn a bit of Greek after emailing a few questions and looking over some great information about www.yoursphere.com.
Here is a site founded by one of our members. It is http://yoursphere.com/. Mary Kay Hoal created this site for children to have a safe place to socialize on the Net. We as adults have to admit the MySpace and Facebook and YouTube sites are not that c… Continue

Summer Time is Prime Time For Predators

Hi All.... Just had to make a stop by and throw a reminder up about how summer time is always a busy time for Internet Predators who a looking to prey upon children being left alone while parents are at work. It is so important to educate yourself and your children about Internet Safety. I always remind parents about Stranger Danger. Back in the day parents would tell their children to watch out for the creepy guy hiding in the bushes at the end of the playground in the trench coat. Now the cree… Continue
