Class to teach youth to be safe online

By Christina R. Garza, Brownsville Herald

A selfie -defense seminar will be held today at the Carlotta Kennedy Petrina Cultural Center for girls ages 12 and up interested in learning how to defend themselves against online predators. The class will be hosted by 15-year-old Alondra and 10-year-old Victoria Gonzalez, of Brownsville. Their mother, Franceli Villasenor , said the girls were looking for a way to help the community this summer. According to Villasenor , a special agent from the Department of Homeland Security Investigations will cover subjects such as safety tips and the permanence of photos on the Internet. “As parents, we might not see what goes on, but children need to know how to be safe on the Internet ,“ Villasenor said.
