Studies show that 1 in 5 youth
using the Internet receive an online sexual solicitation in a 1 year
period, and 29% of children will freely give out their home address
if asked.
The iKeepSafe.org website uses an
animated icon / mascot named Faux Paw the Techno Cat to teach
children the importance of protecting personal information and
avoiding inappropriate places on the Internet.
The iKeepSafe.org website teaches
children to safely navigate the Internet through a virtual
playground, Faux Paw's adventures in storybooks, an animated video
download, and educational games.
Educational materials, including worksheets and tests, are also
available for parents and educators.
The Internet Keep Safe Coalition is
a non-profit organization founded by Jacalyn S. Leavitt, Utah's
first lady from 1993-2003.
