[] Attorney General Tom Corbett's website named "Operation Safe Search" provides information for educators and parents about keeping children safe from online predators. Also, the website provides information about Cyber Bulling, which is an online version of traditional bullying, and various other resources to help keep kids safe online. With the ever increasing use of the Internet in our children's daily lives both at school and home, it is important that they understand how to safely conduct their behavior online. Attorney General Corbett's website provides the means of obtaining curriculum and resources for educators that are geared to different age groups.
