The free internet safety course keeps parents informed and children safe

JACKSON, Tenn. – Jackson First Assembly will soon host a class specifically for parents that will discuss the dangers and risks children face online.

The class will be held this Saturday, October 19, from 9 a.m. to noon at Jackson’s First Assembly of God, 10-27 West Forest Avenue.

This course is intended for parents only. You’ll learn how to monitor hidden apps that can alert children to inappropriate websites, how to expose children to the world of human trafficking, and how to detect if children are being drawn to the dark web.

This comes ahead of next week’s school assemblies at Jackson-Madison County middle and high schools, where students will learn about online bullying, suicide and sexual exploitation.

“We have to protect our children. That’s the purpose of doing this. The kids won’t be exposed to worship music and sermons, none of that, that’s not what this is about. The focus is entirely on the well-being and well-being of our children,” said Garry Martin, pastor of Jackson First Assembly of God.

Parents please register if you would like to attend by calling 731-668-5547. Programs like this are made possible through fundraising and donations. To support this initiative to protect children online and continue to provide these services to area schools, you can donate by calling 731-668-5547.
