We are pleased to announce the pilot roll-out of Internet Safety 101: Empowering Parents has begun. EIE led four regional Town Hall Meetings, in partnership with the Virginia Parent Teacher Association (PTA) during the month of October, Cyber Security Awareness Month. Each PTA in Virginia received a free copy of the Internet Safety 101 program thanks to a generous grant from Verizon who is also assisting in funding the town hall meetings. Stay tuned for more information on our national rollout in 2009.

The Internet has revolutionized our life and has transformed the way we live, work, conduct business and communicate with others. While this life-changing technology offers us unlimited worldwide access to information and instant communication, it has also opened up new avenues for sexual predators to seek out unsuspecting children, as well as provide a global platform for the distribution of hard-core sexually explicit material that is harmful for our youth, and in the Web 2.0 world, kids are feeling pressured to post provocative pictures, videos and blog about their deepest personal experiences in a very public forum.
In this ever-changing world, although Internet safety is a shared responsibility between the public, the Internet industry, and the legal community, parents remain the 'first line of defense' in protecting children against Internet dangers. Unfortunately, parents and other adults are often ill-equipped to deal with evolving issues of Internet safety and need credible outside help. At Enough Is Enough (EIE), we have responded to this call-to-action by creating the Internet Safety 101: Empowering Parents Program to provide you with the information necessary to establish safety "rules" and use appropriate software "tools" (Rules 'N' ToolsSM ) to prevent your children from falling victim to these online dangers.
Through this website and our 101 Program, we hope to keep you informed about the issues surrounding online safety and Enough Is Enough's effort to make the Internet safer for children and families.
Together, we can make a big difference and help protect an 'Age of Innocence' for our children.
For the Sake of the Children,

Donna Rice Hughes
President & Chairman
