The Paulding County Sheriff's Office wants to remind you that the 2010 Parent Summit is happening at 7 p.m. on April, 20, 2010 at the Chattahoochee Technical College auditorium located at 400 Nathan Dean Blvd Dallas, GA 30132.

Our goal is to educate the parents so that they can embrace the benefits of the Internet and cell phones while simultaneously safe guarding their children from online exploitation or other dangers.

With the help of the Georgia Bureau of Investigations, MyWirelessLife.org, Keep Georgia Safe.org, Paulding Child Advocacy Center and the Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) this year’s summit, led by the Paulding County Sheriff’s Office, will address the growing trend of texting, “sexting”, online gaming, and Internet safety. “Children usually do not realize that they are being victimized until it is too late,” noted Paulding County Sheriff Gary Gulledge. “Parents often times do not understand the technology being used by their children and the potential danger, if it is used irresponsibly.”

This type of proactive approach (an educational summit) to cyber safety has only been offered in Paulding County. We hope to dramatically decrease the number of potential child victims in the areas of online exploitation (and other dangers) thru this summit.

Since seating is limited, participants are asked to register (RSVP) although admission is free. They only need to send the names of the person(s) attending to the email address listed on the flyer ([email protected]).
