Police deliver cyber-safety presentation
School and youth liaison officers from Brisbane Water Local Area Command attended the Woy Woy campus of Brisbane Water Secondary College on Tuesday, November 12, to deliver a cyber-safety awareness presentation.
The school's year 10 students received information on the laws surrounding the improper use of social media and were given strategies to keep themselves safe online.
Police encouraged parents to research and keep up-to-date in relation to the various social media and networking sites, as well as mobile phone applications being used by their children.
Police advised parents to monitor their child's use of the internet, help to keep them safe and put necessary controls in place to reduce the likelihood of their child becoming an offender or victim of cyber-crime.
Websites commonly used for improper purposes include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Kik.
