The IL Attorney General's Office, Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force would like to wish you a Happy Safer Internet Day! Safer Internet Day is a global initiative that aims to encourage all of us to do our part to build a better internet and be more critical, kind, responsible digital citizens. You can learn more about Safer Internet Day at https://connectsafely.org/

The Online Child Exploitation Prevention Initiative (OCEPI), which is a collaboration between ICAC and many other agencies have provided a list of best practices for prevention. If you are an educator, speaker, SRO, or even a parent preparing to have discussions about the importance of online safety with your child, please consider these best practices at the button above.

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children has also released a brand new episode of their fantastic cartoon, Into the Cloud. These shows are great ways to teach kids how to identify risks, talk to trusted adults and report! Watch the video below!

Stay safe and use today as an opportunity to talk to kids and teens about staying safe online! For more resources visit us at:
