[April 11, 2008]
SPRINGFIELD -- As part of Gov.
Blagojevich's aggressive plan to fight Internet crime and protect
families and communities from sexual predators, the Illinois State
Police will teach at the Family, Career and Community Leaders of
America workshop, which will include sixth-grade through 12th-grade
students.

The interactive workshop teaches children and teens how to stay
safer on the Internet and combines the newest technologies with the
most current research in high-impact educational activities to help
prevent victimization and increase awareness whenever children go
online. NetSmartz uses age-appropriate 3-D animation, music and
interactive games paired with dynamic activity cards to teach kids
about online dangers and how to avoid them.
The NetSmartz workshop is
a safety resource from the National Center for Missing and Exploited
Children and Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
