   "Protecting Our Kids From Online Predators"
    Parents may think it could never happen in their home.  Reality is that any device     
    with internet accesses is a tool that predators can potentially use to access
    children.  
   
     In September, PiP hosted special guest, Jason Mitchell, who leads the Child
     Exploitation Investigations Group for the US Department of Homeland Security for
     the DFW area. He educated parents on how to protect our children and keep them
​     safe from online predators.
