2011 CYBER CRIME CHALLENGE
Since 2009, the Inter-Agency Council on Abuse and Neglect (ICAN), along with numerous
law enforcement agencies, have sponsored the annual Cyber Crime Prevention Symposium in an
effort to continue educating teachers, administrators, parents and students on the importance of Internet
safety.
In 2011, the Cyber Crime Prevention Symposium Planning Committee promoted its first
Cyber Crime Challenge. The students were encouraged to use their imagination to develop a cyber
safety school program to address issues including cyber bullying, risks of social media, sexting and
other issues involving the Internet. In order to begin their project, students were
expected to use the teaching points from the Symposium as the foundation for developing their
program. Each school was judged on its creativity, students’ implementation and impact of their
program on its school’s student body.
Approximately 41 schools attended the 2011 Symposium. Of those 41 schools, Bishop
Conaty Our Lady of Loretto, Chaminade Middle School, St. James, St. John Fisher, St. Thomas
Moore, and St. Mary Magdalen participated in the first challenge. All participating schools did an incredible
job, which made the decision-making very difficult. In April 2012, a winner was
selected.
Congratulations to ST. MARY MAGDALEN SCHOOL of Camarillo for winning the first
Cyber Challenge! On Friday, April 20, 2012, the winning school was presented with its
trophies, certificates, $1,500 and CyberALLY training valued at $2,500.
The Cyber Crime Prevention Symposium Planning Committee looks forward to spreading the
word on Internet safety by continuing to offer the Cyber Crime Challenge in 2012! For more information,

The SafeSurfingKids.com Online Agreement
(http://www.safesurfingkids.com/online_rules.htm)
I want to use the Internet. I know that there are certain rules about what I should do online.
I agree to follow these rules and my parents agree to help me follow these rules:
1. I will not give my name, address, telephone number, school, or my parents’ names,
addresses, or telephone numbers, or anything else that would help anyone find me offline
(like the name of my sports team) to anyone I meet on the computer.
2. I understand that some people online pretend to be someone else. Sometimes they pretend
to be kids, when they’re really grown-ups. I will tell my parents about people I meet online. I
will also tell my parents before I answer any e-mails or instant messages I get from, or send
e-mail or instant messages to, new people I meet online.
3. I will not buy or order anything online or give out any credit card information without asking
my parents.
4. I will not fill out any form online that asks me for any information about myself or my family,
without asking my parents first. This includes forms for contests or registering at a site. I’ll
also check to see if the sites have a privacy policy and if they promise to keep my private
information private. If they don’t promise to keep my private information private, I won’t give
them any private information.
5. I will not get into arguments or fights online. If someone tries to start an argument or fight
with me, I won’t answer him or her and will tell my parents.
6. If I see something I do not like or that makes me uncomfortable or that I know my parents
don’t want me to see, I will click on the “Back” button or log off.
7. If I see people doing things or saying things to other kids online I know they’re not supposed
to or say, I’ll tell my parents.
8. I won’t keep online secrets from my parents.
9. If someone sends me any pictures, links to sites I know I shouldn’t be going to, or any e-mail
or instant messaging using bad language, I will tell my parents.
10. If someone asks me to do something I am not supposed to do, I will tell my parents.
11. I will not call anyone I met online unless my parents say it’s OK. (Even then I will block caller
ID on my phone.)
12. I will never meet in person anyone I met online, unless my parents say it’s OK and they are
with me.
13. I will never send anything to anyone I met online, unless my parents say it’s OK.
14. If anyone I met online sends me anything, I will tell my parents.
15. I won’t say bad things about people online, and I will practice good Netiquette.
16. I won’t use bad language online or threaten anyone, even if I’m only kidding.
17. I know that my parents want to make sure I’m safe online, and I will listen to them when they
ask me not to do something.
18. I will help teach my parents more about computers and the Internet.
19. I will tell my parents when something bad happens online, because they promise not to
overreact if something bad happens online. And I will remember that it’s not my fault if others
do bad things online!
