The Cyber Harassment Have Cost Us Children's Lives

I am very happy today as I heard the IOWA Division of Criminal Investigation's Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force run a new website Thursday to help parents fight sexual predators.As a mother I am really worried about online harassment and children cheating and I am seriously agree with the Michael Ferjak statements: "I'm amazed frankly about how much they don't know about this.The sexting, the cyber harassment, cyber bullying those have cost us children's lives." He also declared removing the access of internet is not a good reply to this kind of crime. Even children deny to tell parents the truth because they afraid of losing their computer and internet.He stated parents always aware children to speak to strangers on the street but how about cyberspace?Have you ever spoken with your kids about online thieves? Therefore in my opinion parents must be fully aware of the potential risk of internet for children and also avoiding kids from the sexing and the cyber harassment depends completely on the subtle behavior of parents.The website has many useful tips for parent which I summarized main points here but I strongly recommend to all parents to read the website by them self.
