School teaches parents how to protect kids online

(Source: MGN Online)

PERRYVILLE, MO (KFVS)- Do you know how to monitor your child's Facebook through email? Do you have Internet filters set up? Have you spoken to your child about who they talk to online.

Leaders in Perryville School District took that lesson to parents in a special workshop.

"We want to show them it can happen," said School Resource Officer, Deputy Matt Schamburg. "Technology is great but it gives predators more ways to get to your children."

"It's very nerve racking as a parent," said Jeff Steffens, a father. "You can think you are in the safest community but anybody out there can get your information."

"I just don't think you can arm yourself with enough information," said Mother, Jamie Gladdens. "There's so much out there now none of us grew up with."
