NJ-SP to Host Youth Educator for Indiana’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force

A Youth Educator for Indiana’s Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force will be in Starke County tomorrow presenting information to North Judson-San Pierre students in grades 3 through 12.

The ICAC Task Force works with state and local law enforcement agencies to develop an effective response to technology-facilitated child sexual exploitation through investigations, training, prevention and community education.

Youth Educator Cathie Bledsoe will be discussing the dangers that the internet poses for children and teenagers. She will present information to students during the school day and a parent program will take place at 5:30 p.m. Thursday evening in the NJ-SP auditorium. All parents and community members are invited to attend.

Bledsoe has been a presenter on Internet Safety and Cyber Bullying for the past 7 years and she has 10 years of teaching experience with children, adults, gifted students and juveniles in the probation system.
