4. We know about the great Internet

5. So, why discuss this? To meet requirements established under the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA), 2000 Filtering: CIPA requires the implementation of a “technology protection measure” (filtering) to block access to visual depictions deemed “obscene,” “child pornography,” or “harmful to minors.” Internet Safety Policy: CIPA requires the adoption and enforcement of an “Internet safety policy” [that addresses] “monitoring the online activities of minors.”

6. So, why discuss this? To meet other requirements... • Cyberbullying Prevention • Upcoming E-Rate requirements

7. An even bigger reason…our kids! • 1 in 4 have had unwanted exposure to inappropriate pictures when online. • Approximately 1 in 5 received a solicitation or inappropriate approach. • 1 in 17 was threatened, harassed or bullied online. • Only 25% of students who encountered a solicitation or inappropriate approach told a parent or guardian. • Less than 10% of solicitations were reported to law enforcement authorities. David Finkelhor, Kimberly Mitchell and Janis Wolak. Online victimization: A Report on the Nation’s Youth. Alexandria, Virginia: National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, 2000, pg. ix.

8. …and our community. The Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, FBI and the US Attorney’s Office of Eastern Washington have investigated and prosecuted a number of Internet predators from our own community. • US vs L. Caulk, sexual predator in Clarkston, WA • US vs T. Johnson, Express site director • US vs C. Jungblum, high school counselor/coach • US vs P. Lyons, superintendent • US vs R. Perkins, deputy prosecutor • US vs B. Rukke, McDonald’s employee Provided by the US Attorneys Office of Eastern Washington

9. However... • awareness is the best tool for avoiding becoming a victim in the first place. • the best chance of protecting our children is to provide guidelines on how to avoid becoming a victim. • we need to know more in order to inform and guide students.

Hello Loves, Halloween is tomorrow I wonder what everyone will be wearing… B looked pissed at the end of 7th period – apparently she had to play goalie. Hmm lets all shed a tear for her. (Notice freshly dyed hair) J was caught throwing a fit in the hall today – over what you may ask? Ask her yourself. Apparently the Twins were both whispering to A and the Ice Queen about…me? I told you all I would never tell my name. B flirting with N again, I personally think he doesn’t like her that much – you all know it’s true. K was hugging one of the twins today. I wonder if it was the one who is going out with J- or are they still together? Looks like A got a haircut…the layers don’t really work for her. She would have been better off getting a dye job – or her highlights retouched. “I won’t tell you who I am, but check up on my profile for the latest gossip CMS Students. Cyber-bullying
