Welcome to

In the last three months, more than 75 thousand students in 1150 schools have been through the Attorney General’s Cyber Safety presentation. The course’s goal is to teach teens how to surf the internet safely. Sandi Copes, a spokesperson for the Attorney General says the course succeeds because it offers real life stories from real teenagers.

“They can relate to the students in the presentation,” Copes said. “They can relate to the information in the videos. And it’s interactive. We have some tell us about what they use the internet for, whether or not they actually know all 250, 300, even sometimes up to 1000 friends on their MySpace or Facebook pages. And usually they realize that no, they don’t actually know those people in real life. They could be chatting to people who really may not be who they say they are.”

The Attorney General says if your child has not had the internet safety course, parents should ask their child’s principle to schedule one.
