Join us for an extraordinary opportunity to learn from national leaders who will be in Dallas during the 22nd Annual Crimes Against Children Conference. Some expert faculty will arrive a day early in order to spend time with our community's parents as well as professionals who work in child-serving organizations (schools, places of worship, camps, sports clubs, etc.).
Highlights include: |
 Living in a Wired World: What's Next?
You will be shown various types of technology that are popular with today's kids including Social Networking Sites, Smart phones, in-car internet, in-flight internet, and gaming consoles. Learn what you can do to protect home wireless networks and explore tools that are available for monitoring your child's digital life. |
 Advice From Child Molesters
Experts say that offenders work just as hard to deceive adults as they do to seduce and silence their victims. Their tactics work so well that only about three percent are reported and successfully prosecuted. By taking the time to learn about sex offenders, you will be joining a growing number of parents who are becoming better educated about child molestation and the ways in which we can stop this crime. Remember: the responsibility for protecting children rests with adults, not children alone. |
 Cyberbullying
(Appropriate for school counselors, teachers and others in child-serving organizations)
This workshop will relate the current trends in cyber-bullying, harassment, victimization, and on-line sexual predatory behavior to developmental and psychosocial factors in childhood and adolescence. You will explore how the blending of technology and adolescent development creates a potent and dangerous combination, leading to excessive risk-taking and the inability to control impulses and foresee consequences. This information will set the foundation for viewing and processing "Sticks and Stones," a new cyber-bullying video and instructional program that will be distributed to all attendees. |
