The internet is as much a part of daily life as the air we breathe, especially for the younger generation who navigate it with a sense of home-turf familiarity—however, with every click, they wade into potentially treacherous waters. Recognizing this, the Brooklyn Park Police Department is stepping up to educate the local community on internet safety for our youth. Tech-savvy may not always equate to tech-safe, and here's an upcoming session aiming to balance the equation.

To turn the tide against the inherent risks younger netizens face, a free learning opportunity, focusing on the well-being of young digital consumers, will take place on August 15 from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM, as per the City of Brooklyn Park. The Community Activity Center at 5600 85th Ave N is set to welcome adults from around Brooklyn Park, offering them tools to protect and guide children through the virtual labyrinth, because the internet waits for no one and its perils are always just a click away.

As reported by the official bulletin from Brooklyn Park, the enlightening event boasts the addition of Alison Feigh, director of the Jacob Wetterling Resource Center, as the special guest speaker—it's a collaboration to pack a powerful educational punch. Feigh will bring to the table her expertise and her resolve to prevent exploitation isn't just impressive, it's undeniably pertinent.
