INTERNET SAFETY

FOR PARENTS AND CHILDREN

Although the Internet is a helpful tool for students, child predators use it to locate their victims.

A survey conducted by the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children revealed that one in five youths between the ages of 10 and 17 has received unwanted sexual solicitations online. The survey also indicated that one in four children has been exposed to online pornography.

Parents may believe that their child would tell them about such experiences, but the survey found that only about 25 percent of sexual solicitations and less than 40 percent of unwanted exposures were ever reported to parents.

The New Bern Police Department considers the Exploitation of Children over the Internet to be a very serious offense and has a Major Case Unit with detectives specially trained and committed to investigating such crimes. 

For more detailed information about Internet Safety, visit the North Carolina Department of Justice web site.  You can also view an incredible video, "Internet Safety: What You Don't Know Can Hurt YourChild."
