Internet Safety

Internet Safety has become a key priority for the Attorney General's Office due to advancing technology. People, including children, are spending more time online than ever before. Unfortunately, this is also true for criminals and predators that use the Internet to exploit children and take advantage of the vulnerable.

Fortunately, there are steps both adults and youth can take to protect themselves. The Online Safety curriculum for K-12, one of our most popular programs, is a valuable resource that includes information on cyber predators, cyber-bullying and other helpful online safety tips.
