Who I'd like to meet:
Welcome to the Northwest Louisiana Internet Crimes
Against Children Task Force Myspace Page. The Louisiana Internet Crimes
Against Children Task Force was formed by the Louisiana Department of Justice, Office
of the Attorney General, and is made up of law enforcement agencies all
over the State of Louisiana. Our main objectives are to keep children safe from
Internet predators and to help to educate parents about how they can keep their
children safe. Since Myspace.com is the fastest growing and most widely
used social networking site among children on the Internet, we felt that a Task
Force profile may be a great resource for children and parents alike. This is a
forum where parents and children can submit questions and concerns and receive a
prompt response. Any child
who would like may add The Louisiana ICAC Task Force as a Myspace.com friend, upon doing so, the Louisiana Attorney
General Special Agent Badge will show up as a friend on their profile.
Although the individuals pictured on this page have all been arrested for some type of Internet Crimes Against Children, they are all innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Task Force members are available upon request
to speak to schools, parents, churches and other civic organizations.
Without proper supervision, children can easily
be exposed to inappropriate material and messages, be exploited by sexual
predators and become victims to unscrupulous con artists. We want to help
you keep your child safe
Myspace.com Tips
Make sure that your child's profile is set
to private.
Do not allow your child to post any
pictures of themselves, especially ones in which they are easily
identifiable, on their profile.
Monitor your child's Myspace.com account to
insure they are not posting any personal information about themselves on
their profile.
Ask your child to tell you who they are
communicating with on Myspace.com; make sure that they are not being
contacted by strangers.
Net Tips
Parents should
establish ground-rules for accessing the Internet. Your technical capabilities
and lack of time may limit your involvement, but you can shape web surfing into
a family activity. Use a common sense approach to family Internet use:
Place
the computer in a central area of the house such as the family room, den or
kitchen.
Establish
specific times when access to the Internet is permitted and keep that
schedule.
If
your child uses a computer at school, call and see if his or her school has
adopted an “acceptable use policy” for the Internet. Use this policy as
a tool to establish guidelines at home.
Limit
the length of access time. This will encourage your child to go directly to
the information required, rather than aimlessly wander or surf the Internet.
Explain
to your children that many sites on the Internet are not appropriate for
children or young adults, and they are expected to stay away from them.
Make
it clear to your child you are aware that there is pornographic material on
the Internet, and that looking at such material is forbidden.
Explain
that if the sites’ address has adult language in it, the site is not to be
visited.
If
the child has access to a credit card, instruct the child never to give it
out over the Internet.
Instruct
your child to talk to you if he or she ever finds anything on the
Internet that makes them feel uncomfortable.
Encourage
communication with your children. Ask about their Internet experiences and
what they have learned.
Red Flags
Secretive behavior on the computer.
You feel unwelcome at an on-line session.
Unexplained loss of capacity on the
computer’s hard-drive. (It may be crowded with pornographic image files,
which are typically very large).
A sudden new friend you don’t know.
Excessive time on the Internet.
Hidden floppy or Zip disks which may be
used for storage of inappropriate or illegal files.
