Summary
Mitchell police launched a June awareness campaign urging parents and guardians to talk regularly with children about online safety during Internet Safety Month.
The department, working with the South Dakota Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, is sharing tips on risks tied to social media, online gaming and digital communication.
Police warned that online games can expose children to strangers, scams, inappropriate content and other threats, and urged families to review privacy and chat settings.
Throughout June, the department plans to post more guidance on social media, framing parent-child communication as one of the most effective online safety tools.
The campaign is part of a broader statewide law-enforcement effort in South Dakota to promote responsible internet behavior among children and families.
