Press Release Body = Embracing The Net, and Internet Seminar reaches out to provide parents and teachers with the skills to teach kids how to deal with dangerours and unlawful online behavior. Embracing the Net part of a national awareness campaign coordinated by i-SAFE Inc-a non-profit, government-funded, Internet safety foundation that teaches children how to surf the web safely.
In the United States, over 48 million children ages 5-17 will regularly use the Internet. A recent i-SAFE America study reveals 40 percent of children-an estimated 19.2 million-do not discuss Internet safety with their parents. The same number say that if their parents knew where they were online or with whom they chatted, they "would have concerns."
America's children are best protected from Internet dangers by learning the skills to act responsibly as cyber citizens and the wisdom to navigate online safely. Recent studies show that 1 in 5 children under age 17 have been propositioned for sex online, and 1 in 33 have received an aggressive solicitation to meet their "cyber friend" somewhere in person. Children who are online without Internet safety training are at high risk of becoming victims of Internet-related crimes.
Details on all this, along with Internet basics, protection of intellectual property rights, piracy issues, hackers, and identity theft, are covered in this seminar.
