Social media seminar planned for Kamloops parents
KAMLOOPS — A seminar planned for next Tuesday is meant to give parents tools to help their children avoid getting hurt or hurting others on social media.
The seminar “Digital Safety for Our Youth” is being put on jointly by Kamloops RCMP and the Kamloops-Thompson School District, and features guest speaker Jesse Miller.
“I’ve seen Jesse many times and he’s just excellent in the information he gives and how he presents it,” said Cpl. Jodi Shelkie. “He’s a national speaker on social media awareness and internet safety, and his presentations are entertaining and also informational.”
“Children get smartphones at a younger and younger age. All those social media apps that are available to them can sometimes lead them astray or can be harmful to them, or can cause harm to others. So this is just a great discussion on how to guide your children through using smartphones.”
