My heartfelt prayers to the families of victims of yesterday's Ft. Hood tragedy. The victims served our country honorably.Posted at 5:25 PM Nov 6 view more
The Internet is an extraordinary resource and one of the major technological achievements of our lifetime. It can be used for good things, unfortunately it has also become a haven for sexual predators, identity thieves and criminals. We have heard and seen too many reports of people using social networking sites as a way to get your information and far too many reports of users practically handing their information away.
I hope the information provided to you through this page will be useful and will will serve as an on-line resource for you and your friends. And share the information with others!
This school year, I have visited more than 65 schools across Arizona and have spoken with thousands of parents and students about Internet safety.
