Uh, monitor your children and their use of the internet... Okay class over...
If you're at the workshop, you care about your kids and thus, your child will not likely be a victim... Most predators are successful because they find kids who are groomed to be victims by absent, abusive or overly permissive or overly strict parents. Take care of your family and this will not happen...
People who go to fire prevention clinics don't have fires in their homes...

TooMuch,
Your comment is right on. The parent's who don't give a rat's butt about their kids are the one's to have kids most likely to fall victims to predators and/or become criminals themselves. Unfortunately we both know that those parents won't be at tonights meeting.
