Working Together To Keep Our Children Save
Sexting and Internet Crimes against children has become an epidemic that is
growing at an alarming rate.
This presentation gives parents vital information to help keep their
children safe from internet predators.
It is a very informative presentation and a must for parents of children of
all ages.

*The information given in this presentation is very graphic with adult
content.*

It is recommended that students/children do not attend.

Well, hmm, that may be one way to attract an audience. ;-)
