CyberSafety Presentation
Every day 77 million children use the internet and, of children ages 10-17, one out of every seven will be sexually solicited online. In 2007, The Florida Attorney General's CyberSafety Education Program debuted at middle and high schools across the state, educating students about the risks of and tactics used by online predators as well as what constitutes a cybercrime and how to report it. In 2009, the program continues to raise awareness and promote safe surfing.
