Our children and youth
are exposed daily to media messages from television, movies, music
and the Internet. Parents play a critical role in monitoring viewing,
and helping children interpret and understand these images and messages.
Internet and cell phone
messaging systems are fast replacing telephones as the preferred
mode of communication and commerce. Unfortunately, with this change
come increased dangers from cyber bullies, predators, cyber theft,
and other criminals. The most vulnerable to these dangers are children.
