Cyber Crime Prevention Program to Teach Internet Safety

Oct. 20, 2010 - PRLog -- In celebration of Pro Bono Week and National Cyber Awareness Month, professionals from the Louisville Bar Association (LBA) and ECHO will address a host of Internet-related security and safety issues to help parents and others gain a better understanding of how to guide their web-surfing children through the growing network of online dangers. Topics to be discussed will include the dangers of social websites, posting of personal information online, online predators and cyber bullying.

“With more children and adults using the Internet more than ever, parents are urged to educate themselves about the dangers posed by these emerging online technologies,” said Scott Furkin, Executive Director of the LBA. “The Cyber Crime Program is just one example of the collective effort between Louisville’s legal community and volunteers to educate children about the harmful consequences of risky behavior in cyberspace.”

The hour-long program is free and open to the public. Doors open at 11 a.m. Space is limited, reservations are encouraged. For additional event information or to register, visit the LBA’s website at www.loubar.org or contact Kate Lindsay by calling (502)292-6729 or email klindsay@loubar.org.
