When:  October 28, 2008       7:00 p.m.

Where:  Salem High School Presentation Room

Why:  Every day children and teenagers put themselves at risk when they interact on social networking sites.  For example, they may think they are chatting with another teen when really an unsafe adult is posing as a teen.  Predators of this type are so many and so active that law enforcement officials cannot keep up with catching them.  They need your help to keep your child safe.  Come and learn how.

Who:  This workshop is presented by Indiana State Police Officer, Tony Brishaber and Salem High School Counselor, Jennifer Martin.
