Media Questions

Curious about how families, schools, youth groups and even church congregations unknowingly expose personal information online that makes us vulnerable to cyber bullies, stalkers and identity theft? Linda Carlson, who created Internet Safety and Your Family for Parenting Press, is available to comment on your concerns and such questions as:

• Is Internet safety an issue for parents of very young children? They can't even touch the keyboard.

• Internet Safety and Your Family says to make the Internet a family activity. How would you recommend that we do that?

• You personally have more information on the Internet than a lot of people—a professional web site, a LinkedIn profile, a blog—so how do you protect yourself and your family?

• Suppose all someone really uses the Internet for is e-mail—is he or she really at risk?
