W hile digital technology offers a world of educational and entertainment options for young people, it also has a dark and dangerous side that we can’t ignore. This presentation on the  digital exploitation of children includes real‐life examples and unabashed practical advice for anyone interested in the safety and well‐being of our children online or using their cell phones. Our presenter, Eric Szatkowski, pulls no punches as he also incorporates his experience as a  husband and father of two children who grew up online. Topics include the latest on the potential dangers of social networking sites like Facebook or MyYearbook, as well as the  disturbing trends of sexting and cyber bullying. Eric also discusses the risks of file sharing programs like Lime Wire, smart phones and online gaming. Attendees will learn techniques used by predators, which types of kids are most vulnerable and the link between the growing  victimization of children and the sexualized, porn‐obsessed culture. Eric also provides an eye‐opening glimpse of popular websites and the disturbing content available to children.

About the Presenter: EricSzatkowski has been a Special Agent with the Wisconsin Department of Justice/ Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) for approximately 20 years. He’s currently assigned to the state’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force in Milwaukee. He has been a guest on the Tyra Banks Show and CNN Tonight with Connie Chung. Eric has also been  interviewed by countless newspapers, radio and television stations across Wisconsin and the Midwest. Television news stations have won and/or been nominated for journalism awards for stories for which Eric was a significant contributor.
