How safe are teens online? The delegates at Cox Communications' 2nd Annual National Teen Summit on Internet Safety, held yesterday in Washington, D.C, addressed that and many other questions regarding how teens use the Internet. Judging from the discussion at the Summit and in the delegates' meetings with several lawmakers, including Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), these 14 teens are a safe and Internet savvy group, although most of them expressed that they have peers whose online behavior is potentially risky. They added that parents should be particularly concerned about younger kids’ Internet use and that it’s never too early to discuss the importance of Internet safety with youngsters. Hosted by children’s advocate and TV host John Walsh and Miss America 2007 Lauren Nelson, the Summit will air on Cox Cable channels starting later this summer. The eye-opening dialogue also included the teens’ parents, who participated in their own discussions and in Internet safety and media literacy training conducted by Netsmartz and Common Sense Media. Afterward, at a press briefing in the National Press Club, Walsh and Nelson were joined at the podium by one of the teen participants, Christina Johnson (above, with Nelson), who represented her fellow delegates in answering questions from the media and other guests and advising the adults on Internet safety from a teen's perspective.
