All Ridgewood parents and community members are invited...
A Common Sense Approach to Internet Safety in this Age of Changing Technology
Parry Aftab, an Internet privacy and security lawyer, is WiredSafety's Executive Director. WiredSafety is the world's largest Internet safety and help group. Ms. Aftab will present to Ridgewood parents and community members in the Ridgewood High School Campus Center on December 11 from 7:00 to 9:30.
This will be a great and truly informative session! Ms. Aftab has spoken to thousands of students and parents and knows the hot topic issues, explains them in parent-speak, and offers parents workable ways to balance their parental responsibilities and create sensible guidelines for kids.
In particular, the very important topic of Cyberbullying will be discussed and the audience will be introduced and asked to take the Megan Pledge. In particular, Ms. Aftab will cover:
What steps can parents take to prevent their children from becoming victims of cyberbullying? (pro-active approach)
If they become victims, what can victims and parents do, where can parents go for help and when do they bring it to the attention of school administrators or law enforcement?
What to do if they find out that their child is a Cyberbully?
Most victims of CyberBullying are so affected by the threats and harassment that they keep quiet and never report it to their
parents, teachers or friends. It is important that victims realize that we adults are here to fight this new form of bullying.

Parry Aftab is a nationally known expert on internet safety, quoted in national media, testifying to congress, etc. It is impressive that she is coming to Ridgewood. Not sure who booked her (BOE? HSA?) but hats off and thank you to them. I am really looking forward to hearing her speak!
