Increasingly, our online lives breed a lack of inhibition in ways not seen offline.

The internet is a reflection of our society and that mirror is going to be reflecting what we see. If we do not like what we see in that mirror the problem is not to fix the mirror, we have to fix society.

Why are we so obsessed with the registered sex
offender side of the puzzle when the troubled
kids are right in front of us?

Why are we so obsessed with the Internet side of
the puzzle when so many more kids are
abused in their own homes?

I feel like this whole conversation has turned into a
distraction. Money and time is being spent focusing
on the things that people fear
rather than the very real and
known risks that kids face.
Online predators aren’t as big of a concern as the media makes them out to be.
We, as parents and teachers, have the biggest impact on our kids.
Kids learn what they see ...

Empowered by the internet in ways that weren’t available to us as kids; our kids are doing amazing things online ...
they share the value of kindness
