Helping kids stay safe online is something many parents, caregivers and professionals are concerned about. The RCMP has started virtual RCMPTalks sessions on the latest online trends, potential risks and proactive strategies to keep your child safe. These talks were designed by Erica Allen of National Youth Services. She says they held a session earlier this month and had positive feedback.

Luther says kids need to know they can always go to a trusted adult to talk about things, or they can also go to cybertip.ca to report incidents. He says if something feels off, it’s likely suspicious. The next RCMPTalks session will be about Bullying on November 21st.
