Web site seeks to protect Montana’s kids from online predators

Montana’s attorney general along with the state superintendent of schools unveiled a Web site Wednesday aimed at keeping children safe from on-line scams and predators.

The site http://www.safeinyourspace.org gives advice to parents, teachers and kids on a host of Internet safety considerations, like how to identify and report online predators and what to do if other kids bully your child online.

Attorney General Mike McGrath, whose agency will maintain and “constantly” update the site to keep it current, said the idea is not to discourage kids from using the Internet — a notion that is probably impossible — but to focus on preventing crimes before they occur.
