According to Common Sense Media, teens spend an average of nine hours per day, immersed in their digital world. Children ages eight to 12 average nearly six hours a day online. Their digital world allows them potential access to nearly 4.5 billion internet consumers. Parenting a teen or child in the digital world can be overwhelming and challenging at best. Miller City- New Cleveland School District is hosting a Digital Empowerment for Parents event on Thursday March 20, from 4-6pm. This free event is open to community members and is designed to educate parents by providing them with timely, relevant and important information they can use to develop a strategy to empower their teen or child to make safe and healthy choices online. The speaker for this event will be Captain Scott Frank, a retired Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Investigator and now internet safety expert and empowerment speaker from Oak Harbor, Ohio. Scott founded the Digital Empowerment Project and has presented to tens of thousands of students, parents and educators. Scott exposes the risks of the internet with real life stories and practical takeaways. More importantly, Scott demonstrates to parents that despite the risks, the internet affords every teen and child the chance to embrace the opportunities to INVEST YOUR TIME, INSPIRE OTHERS and IMPACT YOUR FUTURE. A SERIOUS MESSAGE WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK! The event will be held at Miller City- New Cleveland Local Schools.
