INTERNET SAFETY FOR KIDS, PARENTS, EDUCATORS, LAW ENFORCEMENT

“I’m not just a Congressman; I’m a parent with four young children.  And just like most parents, we talk with our children about the great fun and learning potential the Internet has to offer.  At the same time, we must also educate our children about the hidden dangers of the Internet.” - Congressman Mike Ferguson
