"Kids need to appreciate and accept that just as in the real world, there are dangers in cyberspace. Parents need to teach kids that cyberspace is permanent. Everything that they write, post and send can be traced and will remain there forever. Do they want that comment, or pie from Saturday night's party on the desk of the person conducting a job interview in 10 year's time? Are you happy for that naked pie, sent trustingly to their boyfriend who loves them dearly and will not share it with anyone (until he has it or you break up or both) on the computer of a paedophile? Kids need to think before they click and parents and teachers need to educate them to ensure that where possible, the correct decisions are made in the first instance, not after a moment of madness."

The information evening will be held on May 11th in the Red Hill Consolidated School Hall from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM.
