RCS to host `MySpace’
and ‘Facebook’
information night
Just what is your child
telling the world about
him or herself, you and
even his teacher or
principal? Are they
illustrating their
words with photos?
On January 30, RCS will
conduct an information
night on teenage
WebPages, how youths use
places like MySpace and
Facebook and what
dangers those sites pose
to youths and others.
The event begins at 6:30
p.m. in the High School
Library Media Center.
A panel that includes a
representative of the
Department of Criminal
Justice’s Missing and
Exploited Children’s
Clearinghouse will offer
advice to parents on how
to protect their
children and what
technology they can use
to filter the Internet
for their children.
The district conducted
its first internet
safety night last year
and the event drew
dozens of parents and
community residents, as
well as students.
Teenage and youth
WebPages are
increasingly popular and
increasingly contain
information and pictures
which place youths at
risk. At the same time,
teenage websites have
been used by youths to
harass or bully other
students or even school
officials.
