The US National Cyber Security Alliance (NCSA) has called on state leaders to work with schools and colleges to ensure that cyber-security, online safety and ethics lessons are integrated into every classroom.
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In findings released today, Alloy Media + Marketing’s (NASDAQ: ALOY) 2007 Alloy College Explorer, powered by Harris Interactive, finds the current college class (students 18-30 years of age)heading back to campus in record numbers and with mounting concern surrounding the state of the union and the future of their country.
Dear Cary,
About a year ago I found out that five of the people on my campus, including my freshman roommate and a bunch of people I thought were my friends, had been laughing at me behind my back on Facebook -- which I'd never used -- for months. I found this out when I broke up with my first boyfriend. (He told me under pressure.) Shortly thereafter, I realized that everyone else I'd been friends with at school were his friends, and they stayed his friends. I graduated early, thank God, but it did nothing for me in the end. Some latent psychological issues surfaced right then, and I became every bit that awkward, narrow-minded, ugly and damaged beast they had all seen from the beginning.
And yet unlike convicted sex offenders, who are required to stay away from places that cater to children, in this case the police can do next to nothing, because this man, Jack McClellan, who has had Web sites detailing how and where he likes to troll for children, appears to be doing nothing illegal.
But his mere presence in Los Angeles — coupled with Mr. McClellan’s commitment to exhibitionistic blogging about his thoughts on little girls — has set parents on edge. One group of mothers, whose members by and large have never met before, will soon band together in a coffee shop to hammer out plans to push lawmakers in Sacramento to legislate Mr. McClellan out of business.

Boston's public schools plan to expand an Internet safety campaign this summer, training 15 high school students in online safety and having them train their peers and mentor students in elementary schools and in their communities. BU professor Whittier ""It's very much a benefit for them to understand what ethical behavior is and what ethical practices are in cyberspace,"
As is the case when supervising kids in the offline world, dealing with their behavior online and when they are using the cell phone requires controls appropriate to their age group.
Attorney and child advocate Parry Aftab offers strategies for parents with children in any or all of the five age groups identified on this list.
"Two important, if somewhat cliche, online public service videos warn teenagers about the dangers of putting photos and personal information online. My question is why it took so long for someone to come up with an educational effort to help kids understand the privacy implications of sharing their images and lives with the world online, something many of them do every day?"
