Youth Sexual Exploitation, Social Media & The Law Parent Presentation

Youth Sexual Exploitation,
Social Media & The Law

An Evening Presentation for Parents of youth Grade 6-12.

The Internet Child Exploitation Unit of the RCMP will explore the definition of the media coined phenomenon "SEXTING" and take the audience through a scenario. The scenario will expose what sexting is, the impacts and offer options to prevent the risks associated to sexting behaviours as well as how to reduce the harm of actions already undertaken. Officers and parents have experienced a concerning increase in reports of Self/Peer online sexual exploitation. We have recognized that the issue required more than investigation and enforcement and that the victimization needed to be prevented through education and awareness.

Learn more about Criminal Code legalities of Self/Peer sexual exploitation and asking anyone under the age of 18 for naked pictures. This also applies for youth to youth.

Learn about websites where kids and adults can go to report incidents that have happened, for tips and strategies, stories, questions and answers etc.  These two websites are: cybertip.ca and needhelpnow.ca

CAT 4 Testing

Grades 10 students will be writing the CAT4 (Canadian Achievement Tests- 4^th Edition).   The purpose of these achievement tests is to help us gather information on students’ strengths and challenges.  This information help us to develop each students learning pathway and meet the learning needs of each student.  This is very important, so students must try to do their best to show what they know and can do.

Testing will be February 16-17, 2016. 

Please do your best to ensure that your child attends these days as missed sections will require make-up times.

Encourage your child to try to do their best.

  

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me.
