[Chapter-delegates] Child Safety and Parental / Institutional Safeguards

Sat Feb 14 05:36:07 PST 2009

Thanks Rudi.

Thanks for these non-commercial resources. ( nothing wrong with the idea of
pricing these resources or software, it would be expensive to develop such
resources )

FOSI has documented broadcasts on this subjects with links to FOSI
broadcasts on You Tube, CBS videos on this this theme etc. There is a
collection of  videos in this link, which can make an event on this theme
lively and makes it easy to convey the safety aspects to parents and
teachers.

That's several million dollars worth of help !!
