The SurfWatch Safety Program was created to meet the need for information and materials to educate kids in schools, parents, community groups and others on how to protect kids from inappropriate online content, predators, violations of privacy and other online dangers.
For this purpose a digital toolkit has been developed to help others create programs to take into schools and community groups. This free toolkit includes separate materials for speaking to adults or children and provides a presentation with a suggested script, brochures, fact sheets and a sample Internet safety contract to leave behind.
McGruff the Crime Dog, the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC), the Forum to Advance the Mobile Experience (FAME), and the Chief Marketing Office Council (CMO Council) have joined together to “Take A Bite Out Of Cyber Crime.” The campaign is empowering and rallying millions of computer and digital device users in the battle against the continually growing plague of computer viruses, worms, spam, spyware, phishing, identity theft and online predators.
