Summary
A public webinar set for June 23 at 2 p.m. is being pushed by the Colquitt County Sheriff’s Office to help parents spot online dangers children face during summer break.
June’s Internet Safety Month campaign comes as officials warn that extra screen time gives predators more access through social media, online games, messaging apps and other digital spaces.
The sheriff’s office and the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force are urging families to tell children they do not owe strangers a response and to report suspicious contacts to a trusted adult.
The session will focus on video games and children, outlining warning signs and red flags for parents as law enforcement stresses that regular conversations and parental involvement remain key protections.
