New Campaign Warns Parents About Internet Predators

clipped from wkbt.com
Wisconsin's Attorney General takes another step to educate parents about the dangers of internet predators.  Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced Wednesday he's launching a new public education campaign.
The Attorney General's office is teaming up with the Wisconsin Broadcasters Assocation's Public Education Program to air 30 second television and radio ads.  The ads will air over the next four weeks.
Van Hollen says the Department of Justice has stepped up efforts to fight internet crimes against children, but internet safety begins at home.  The new public education campaign is designed to encourage parents to watch their children's online behavior.
"The danger of victimization, physical violence, sexually transmitted diseases, and mental health implications require parents to continue the dialogue with their children and monitor activities both on and off-line," says Van Hollen.
