Miss America Promises To Help Promote Internet Safety
Posted by Greg Writer on May 6, 2007
Lauren Nelson is Miss America 2007. When Ms. Nelson was a teeneager, she had a bad experience online.
“When I was 13,” said Ms. Nelson in a recent statement in Business Wire, “I experienced first-hand the potential dangers of unsafe Internet use. Some friends and I made the mistake of giving our names, ages and locations to someone online who we later discovered was a sexual predator. After we received inappropriate photographs from this person, we immediately told our parents, and the situation was defused without incident. Unfortunately, not all kids are as lucky as my friends and I were.”
Because of her experience, Ms. Nelson has promised to appear in public service announcements on how to avoid dangerous situations on the net. She will aslo make local appearances to educate people about how to stay safe online.
