City Manager’s Update

Approximately 14% of high school students have accepted an

invitation to meet an online stranger or invited the stranger to

meet them, according to the Rochester Institute of Technology.

And every year the Virginia Beach Commonwealth’s

Attorney’s Office prosecutes countless cases in which children

and teens either got in trouble for their Internet, smart phone, or tablet activity, or were victimized

as a result of it. Commonwealth’s Attorney Colin Stolle announced his office’s “Always Online”

social media safety campaign this week.

The campaign provides parents a guide for monitoring their children’s social media activity and

arms them with tools to protect their children from online dangers. With production assistance

from the Communications Office's Multimedia Services division, Stolle’s office created a

public service announcement on Internet predators. The 30-second PSA is available on VBTV's

YouTube page at youtube.com/VirginiaBeachTV. It will air on local television as well as in

Virginia Beach movie theaters.

The Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office also offers computer monitoring software called

ComputerCOP at no cost to Virginia Beach families. ComputerCOP is a program that parents can

install on a laptop or desktop computer to monitor their children’s Internet activity and look out

for online threats such as cyber-bullying, gangs, drugs, and predators. To obtain a copy of the

software, visit any Virginia Beach Public Library. The program is intended for desktop and laptop

computers rather than cell phones or tablets. The software was purchased with funds that were

seized from criminal activity in Virginia Beach, at no cost to taxpayers. For more information,
