I am at the 2010 Family Online Safety Institute Conference – one of the best forums for gathering government, industry and advocacy groups together. I will be doing my best to summarize the sessions I attend.

Online Safety Panel

danyah of boyd just made a wonderful point. We often talk about the need for “parents to be involved.” but the most at-risk child do not have involved parents. She goes on to say the important thing is to realize that there is great diversity in today's youth.

Danah also stressed that we have to evaluate the interventions. There are many, many interventions offered for online safety of children. But there are very few evauations. We dont know what works and what does not. Even worse, sometimes, there are unintended consequences.

Torrie Clark of Comcast said that the most important thing is “shared responsibility.” There is not one that will solve this – govt, industry, parents and educators all have to play a role.
