The Smithville Police Department will be hosting an Internet Safety Class on Thursday, April 16th from 6:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m. at the city hall community room upstairs. The program will be presented to parents and children of all ages.
Investigator Jerry Hutchins, Jr. says the program will illustrate the dangers of on-line predators, provide on-line safety tips, and show how someone can track individuals with limited information. The dangers of taking pictures and posting them on-line will also be discussed.
Hutchins and Jennifer Wilkerson, the Executive Director of the Upper Cumberland Child Advocacy Center will be the featured speakers.
Chief Richard Jennings says there is no cost to attend and everyone is invited..” The Smithville Police Department wants to put on informative classes and seminars to help the public. I want everyone to come out and hear what Jennifer Wilkerson has to say. She also has other presentations that she puts on that’s geared for teachers and high school students. Other topics of programs she puts on are child abuse, peer pressure, child abuse prevention, speaking out against child sexual abuse, and the topic of rape.” Those issues however will not be addressed in this seminar Thursday night.
