Keeping Kids Cyber Safe
“Most of us parents are digital immigrants,” Detective Darin Odier
explained. “We grew up without the Internet and are having to learn
as we go. Our kids, however, are digital natives. They’ve never known
anything else and it will always be a part of their lives.” Our best hope
is to better prepare them for what they’ll find out there.
-Written by Jim Cota, IBJ
Detective Odier will speak to Nativity 5th – 8th graders during the day to
enlighten them about being safe internet users.
You are invited to attend an informative gathering on Tuesday, April
15th at 7:00 in the Fr. Gootee Conference Room. Indianapolis Police
Detective Darin Odier will share his professional insights about keeping
your child cyber safe. We have done so much over the years to keep
our kids “stranger safe” in the physical world that we now need to
focus on keeping them safe from strangers in the online world!
