Digital Safety

The Silicon Valley Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Program (SVICAC) has the Vigilant Parent Initiative component. According to SVICAC:

Parents, educators and the community have the ability to teach children how to protect themselves from online dangers and to be an active participant in their online activities.

The Vigilant Parent Initiative is geared towards educating the community, especially parents, on basic social media and technology how-tos, prevention, awareness, and knowing how to talk to their child about protecting themselves online. The Vigilant Parent Initiative provides online safety training and the signs to recognize when a child may potentially be in danger on-line. They explore popular apps like Instagram and Snapchat via hands-on interactive learning as well as the vocabulary that may be referenced by your child.
