ABOUT THE EVENT
Phoenixville Public Library will host a free, virtual “Internet Safety and Cyber-Bullying” presentation on Tuesday, November 10 at 10:00 AM. Joe Myers, Prevention and Education Supervisor for the Crime Victims’ Center of Chester County, will be the speaker. This is a program designed for parents and other adults to ensure the safety of children and their well-being in the cyber world. CVC will incorporate current statistics, best practices for child safety and discussions on current popular Internet applications.
Instagram, Musically, Snapchat, and text messaging may be used by children to emotionally and physically harm their peers. Adult offenders are also using these applications, typically used by teens and young adults, to pose as children. This program discusses what children and perpetrators are doing on these sites and how individuals can be safe on the Internet.
This event is free and open to the public and will be held online via Zoom. Registration is required at https://ccls.libcal.com/calendar/Phoenixville/internet-safety or by calling 610-933-3013 x132. E-mail mpinto@ccls.org for more information.
