CSRIC is coordinating
a one-day summit with multiple sessions to target each of the key audiences: law enforcement personnel, educators, children,
youth, and parents. Keynote speaker Parry Aftab will head these sessions.
Parry Aftab is a security, privacy
and cyberspace lawyer, as well as an author and child advocate. Recently, more than 90% of her time is donated to Internet
issues involving children, from equitable access, to privacy, to safety, to helping develop quality and reliable content for
children. She also acts as a consultant to most of the children's Internet industry, helping them comply with the law, while
improving the Internet experience for children. When children and the Internet are concerned, Ms. Aftab's name is the first
mentioned.
Parry Aftab is a worldwide leader
in the area of online safety and parent and child Internet education. As Executive Director of WiredSafety.org, the largest
online safety and educational program in cyberspace, Ms. Aftab helps prevent and investigate cybercrime. Ms Aftab also works
closely with law enforcement around the world to police the Internet and is part of the Home Office CybercrimeTask Force in
the UK.
Ms Aftab’s non-profit organization has the rights to use the Marvel Comic Book characters
to help create awareness of these issues (http://www.internetsuperheroes.org/cyberbullying/ ). She is seeking alliances to use these characters to create public awareness of these issues.
Parry will
provide 3 sessions: one for students, one for law enforcement personnel and educators, and one for parents. Parry will provide
a survey that can be administered to the students in advance of the presentations, and a review of the issues identified from
that survey. She will review the school's acceptable use policy and provide suggestions on how it can be improved.
