Digital Danger Zones: May 27th - 6pm- Pittston Area Senior High School Auditorium
Today’s students are growing up in a world where a single post can go viral, and one mistake can leave a lasting digital footprint.
That’s why State Rep. Jim Haddock is proud to be working with the Attorney General’s office to bring this free, eye-opening seminar to the 118th district to give families practical strategies to support children of all ages as they navigate social media, gaming platforms, and digital communication.
They will discuss what kids are really encountering online: from cyberbullying to sexting and extortion scams, and the legal AND personal consequences that can follow.
This event is open to the public. We will gain conversation starters, safety tips, and response strategies to help children make wise, informed choices in a digital world that never sleeps.
