Online Safety

This coming Friday, the 16th, the Montel Williams show will focus on online safety for kids and their parents. (Note that Montel is shown twice each weekday in my area and it's the afternoon show that corresponds to the shows advertised on his site for that week. So if you're checking local listings, be aware that this could be the case in your area also.)
The following is the promo for next Friday's show:
MYSPACE: WHAT EVERY PARENT NEEDS TO KNOW
Why is MySpace so popular especially among teens? Is it harmless or should parents be worried about what's on their kid's MySpace page? How do you keep your kids safe from online predators? These are some of the questions we'll be answering today. We'll meet 18-year-old Mary Ellen who was cyberbullied by her "best friend" for a year on MySpace and other sites. She eventually joined a group called the "Teenangels" started by another one of our guests, Perry Aftab. Teenangels is an organization where teens teach other teens about using MySpace safely. Sixteen-year-old Samantha, was stalked and sexually violated by a man posing as a teen on MySpace. Her parents, David and Teresa, are increasingly concerned about Internet privacy. We will meet 14-year-old Shannon, who created a MySpace page that was discovered by her computer teacher/mother, Maggie. Maggie introduced her daughter to Perry who helped Shannon become an expert in MySpace safety. We'll talk to Julie who works as a cyber crime fighter to help catch online predators. Kristyn, Julie's daughter, coaches her mother to appear younger on the Internet to potential predators. We will also surprise Julie by reuniting her with her son Eric, whom she gave up for adoption 24 years ago. She found him using MySpace

One part of the Friday's show on online safety:
www.teenangels.org
From their site:
Teenangels is a group of 13-18 year-old volunteers that have been specially trained by the local law enforcement, and many other leading safety experts in all aspects of online safety, privacy, and security. After training for six sessions, the Teenangels run unique programs in schools to spread the word about responsible and safe surfing to other teens and younger kids, parents, and teachers. At the urging of our Teenangel volunteers, a special group of volunteers will be able to continue as Teenangels after they become 18 years old, & a new group of Tweenangels has been formed for those between 11 & 13 years of age.
Teenangels was founded in 1999 by leading cyberlawyer Parry Aftab, Executive Director of WiredSafety.org (the world's largest online safety and help organization and 501c-3 (corporation). Parry personally trains most of the Teenangels! However, once our training videos (on which Parry and other safety experts will appear) are complete, we will be able to train teens even in places Parry can't get to! [ more.. ]
Some points that Montel made:
1. Teens: Your parents pay the mortgage and utilities, they paid for your computer, they pay for the Internet service. They can look at your computer.
2. Teens: If anyone tries to pressure you into doing something you don't want to do--sex, drugs, alcohol, etc.--whether you've met them online or otherwise, you have the right to say no. One girl felt too ashamed to say no to a boy she met online who she went on to meet in person. Fortunately her father came home......
3. Parents: Talk with your kids, work with them to stay safe online. Help them understand and be aware of the dangers and what to do and not do. Plenty of books and videos out there to help.
4. Children should not have their own computer in their room. Let them enjoy the computer with the rest of the family.
5. Teens: You're putting information about yourself in Cyberspace for hundreds, thousands or even millions to access. Don't complain if your parents access that information.
6. What you put in cyperspace stays in cyberspace and can come back to haunt you years later. So if you're 17 and post pictures of yourself being irresponsible and obnoxious, the college or company you try to get into later might see this. It's happened. One kid posted some pics online of something he did legally in one state. Unfortunately, it wasn't legal in another state when his family moved. He was suspended when the school saw the pictures. Even if you never run for public office, these things can hurt you later in life.
While we're on the subject, I'll give a plug to one of the Holloway family's friends and supporters:

Montel asked her if she remembered giving him anything. She thought about it and then said she gave him a teddy bear. Her adult son came out WITH the teddy bear after all these years. I'm not usually into 'tears for ratings', but this was heart-warming.
