Bement Students, Families Hear From Online Safety Expert

Students in a Piatt County school district recently heard from an expert in online security.

 

Retired law enforcement officer, Det. Rich Wistocki came to speak to students recently regarding youth and online security at Bement schools. Superintendent Mary Vogt says the nationally known expert in online security has created the hashtag - I don't owe you, Jack.

 

 

According to Vogt, Wistocki checked in with the district after his visit if they would participate in a campaign he had started for a t-shirt design, and to the surprise of the Bement community, one of its students was the winner of that contest.

 

 

Det. Wistocki has a great program that he gives to adults and kids. Vogt says one of the standout parts of his presentation is the fact there are apps and games that kids are on that she and other adults have not ever heard of.

 

 

Vogt had her eyes open to the fact so many games kids play have predators lurking and they will engage kids as young as ten years old and have them enter a different chat room that their parents don't know about.
