The class next Wednesday that’s being offered by the Demopolis Police Department should be taken seriously by all parents.

You can’t keep tabs on your kids all the time. You need to know how to best instruct them to use the Internet and, in some cases, know how to install and use blocking technology to safeguard them from strangers.

The Internet is not an inherently dangerous place but it only takes one time.

Police Chief Tommie Reese and his investigators have proven that there’s plenty of people out there looking to rob a child of its innocence. Thankfully, they’ve stepped in front of that.

But, there’s always going to be the potential for that one time – the one time someone reaches around law enforcement and into your children’s computer. Take the class. Learn how to stop it.
