Jamaica man arrested for assaulting a teen upstate

When talking to your child about internet safety, knowing where to begin is tough.

Children of all ages are now spending an increasing amount of time online. In the U.S, children ages 8-12 spend 4-6 hours a day watching or using screens, and teens spend about 9 hours a day, according to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry.

In an age of social media, mobile games, and even online schoolwork, it’s more crucial than ever to have a structured approach to internet safety for your family.
