The Kentucky State Police and Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky have launched a new internet safety initiative to help parents protect their children from online predators, cyberbullying, and exploitation. The Internet is a dangerous place and this program is designed to protect them. It acknowledges the essential role of parents as the first and best guardians of their children’s well-being. While technology brings new risks, no digital filter can replace an engaged and discerning parent. The effort reflects thoughtful leadership that equips and empowers parents rather than shifting responsibility away from them. It’s clear that children face mounting online dangers, Kentucky’s example reminds us that true protection begins at home—with parents who lead in the protection of their kids through vigilance.
