WAYNESBORO- Waynesboro Area Middle School will be hosting Special Agent Travis Kaiser from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on May 8, at 5:30 p.m., to discuss “Project iGuardian,” a program designed to educate parents, educators, and law enforcement about the risks children face in the online environment.

Project iGuardian™ is presented by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), the primary investigative arm of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The presentation will cover various topics, including tactics used by adult predators online, the growing crime of child extortion, the information devices give away about children and their families, and the newest apps, online games, and social networks children are using.

The event will also feature example scenarios based on local investigations to help attendees better understand how children can be victimized online. The presentation is designed for adults, and attendees are advised to make arrangements for childcare due to the sensitive nature of the topics discussed.

“As a community, we need to work as partners to protect all of our children,” said a spokesperson for Waynesboro Area Middle School. “We encourage everyone to attend this event on Wednesday, May 8th at 5:30 PM to learn more about how to keep our children safe online.”
