Facebook Social Media Safety Education

(Cary)  The Wake County Public School System is partnering with Attorney General Roy Cooper’s office and Facebook to host a town hall for parents on social networking safety on Tuesday, April 17 at 7:00 PM at Panther Creek High School in Cary.

Experts from Facebook, the Attorney General’s Office and the State Bureau of Investigation Computer Crimes Unit will show parents and students how to be safe when using social networking websites and answer questions from the audience.

"As we continue to provide and encourage students to use new technology it is imperative that those students and their families know how to use the tools effectively and safely," Superintendent Tony Tata said.

For those who can't make it out the event will also be streamed live on the Wake County Public Schools Facebook page, the Attorney General's Facebook page, and on WRAL.com.

You can also submit questions ahead of time via the Attorney General's Facebook page or Twitter.

Panther Creek High School is located at 6770 McCrimmon Parkway in Cary.
