This week is Ohio's first Cyber Safety Week.
This is Ohio Attorney General Richard Corday's plan of attack to team up with Ohio schools, parents and law enforcement to help make children more aware of the consequences of online bullying, harassment and sexting.

Most parents are unaware of how much their children use technology to communicate and interact with their peers. If a child has texting on their phone, obviously a parent will know since they pay the bill. What they do not know is to what extent children can communicate with other people.
The issue has grown tremendously in the past few years, since the matter has become more and more serious. If you watch or listen to the news only once in a while it is probably a safe bet that you will hear about another child who has gone off the deep end because of being harassed online or through texting.
Earlier this month a Rutgers University student took his own life after his sex-life was splashed onto the Internet.
Most people think that this is a concern among middle to high school students, but the truth is it can affect just about anyone and people need to become more aware and reach out and listen up to others, especially if they're struggling with this.
