Technology Awareness Alert … Online Grooming
Our technological advances in personal computer devices, smartphones, and internet access have been extraordinary. Each day brings new Apps, expanded learning opportunities and truly the world is now at our fingertips. Unfortunately, it has also enabled very dangerous criminals open access to our once private world, and specifically the private world of our children.
Technology use by our children is making them extremely vulnerable to cybercrime. One such area is online grooming which targets our vulnerable kids. If you ask “What is online grooming?” it illustrates why criminals have such access to our youth.
Online grooming is a way for sexual predators and other types of criminals to wait hidden online for opportunities they know well how to take advantage of. Such sex predators use false identities to move around the web to find unsuspecting victims. Who are these victims? Kids without parental control, children with low self-esteem, and those looking for friends they may not get through school or in the neighborhood.
Groomers develop an identity to make it seem they are the same age and going through the same issues of growing up in a challenging world. They ask innocent questions like what home is like, when parents are around, and how much freedom kids have to be online. Such information is critical so they will know when the best time is to communicate with the soon to be victim. They develop the relationship bonding over online games or sharing their made-up life stories. Showering the vulnerable kids with attention helps gain their trust. Once such trust is developed and groomed is when the conversations turn to sex, sharing sexual photos and videos. Once the trap is set they threaten to expose the kids which keeps them in the hidden relationship.
Over 50% of kids are online for at least an hour a day. 65% or more have their own smartphone device. If a predator broke into your home to attack your children you would give your life in defense of them. Yet everyday the window of technology gives them access to our kids and we are little aware of their presence in our homes.
Be just as smart as your kids with online technology. It may take a little work but you can be smarter than a 6th grader. Take the time to learn about the dangers that exist online and what to look for. Find out what apps are available to help protect your kids online and prevent predators from sneaking into their world. There are myriads of websites and online tools available.
And don’t be embarrassed about being nosey with your kids. Remember, you were once young too and thought you knew everything. You make a difference in the lives of your children and your involvement in their life has never been more important than it is today.

Have you received a packet of seeds in the mail that you didn't order? Does it look similar to the photos here? If so, DO NOT PLANT the seeds and report them here: https://agri.ohio.gov/wps/portal/gov/oda/divisions/plant-health/resources/seed-reporter
(There have been multiple kinds of seeds sent. These are just one example of the packaging and seeds that have been reported to ODA so far.)
Hydrant flushing in our Township.
Please see document for complete mask order information.
Per Lake County Sheriff's Office DO NOT CALL 911 to report someone not wearing a mask.
Also, remember what the governor said: if you see someone not wearing a mask assume they have a medical reason and do not confront them. All handicaps are not visual. One example is severe anxiety and confronting a person with such a condition can cause issues for them. Be smart and stay healthy.
We are sorry to announce that at the recommendation of the Lake County Health District we are cancelling family movie night next Saturday 7/25. It’s a bummer, we know it.
