Techno Cat Reminds Children To Stay Safe Online
POSTED: 3:01 pm PST February 28, 2005 UPDATED: 3:30 pm PST February 28, 2005
A new safety campaign hit the Internet Monday with a goal of protecting children from online predators.
"Faux Paw The Techno Cat," like "McGruff The Crime Dog," was created to remind children to stay safe when meeting strangers, but the cat will focus on the Internet.
The campaign comes after a recent university study found that one in five children are sexually solicited online.
"Millions of parents out there have a false sense of security. They think they're at home; they're in their room; they're safe," said National Center for Missing and Exploited Children spokesman Ernie Allen.
The I Keep Safe Coalition Web site urges children to keep their information to themselves, to not meet with strangers in person that they've met online; and to tell an adult if they feel uncomfortable about anything on their computers.
Next still come Ginger 1 finger, the gun safety hamster.
Instead of targeting the kids, why don't they target the parents?
Personally, I prefer the Viking Kitties.
What's this? More affirmative action?
That's the best name they could come up with?
I assume they are talking about spam?
Yeah, I would have proposed True Paux, or something like that.
McGruff, did you know your wife has a new job!!!
They're gonna fight like cats and dogs.

So would I find Faux Paw under shaved or furry kitties?
Good, maybe I can retire to sum place warm and sunny now.
Just let me and Mrs. Springman stay with you two sometime!!!
Moving next door to malia?
Just started to snow here in Detroit.
Like Morris, they have a real live cat who claims this name, see http://www.governor.utah.gov/fauxpaw/FAQ/faq.html.
[Freepmail me to get on or off the Kitty Ping List.]
They need to enlist the Viking Kitties!
