Public Schools Educating Parents on Internet Safety, Media Violence
In South River, NJ, the public school system sent out an information packet at the beginning to parents which educated them on the dangers of violence in the media and the internet for children and teens. Parents had to sign off on the information and return it to the school. This is an excellent example of a simple measure through the public education system that can help parents to protect their children from media violence and online pornography and other dangers on the Internet.
