'Protecting Kids Online' Video Wins Prestigious Award

HARRISBURG, Pa., Dec. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A special video designed to educate parents, caregivers and youngsters about Internet safety issues, including cyber-bullying and online predators, has earned a bronze Telly Award in the film and video category.

The Telly Awards, given out after a highly respected national and international competition, honor outstanding local, regional and cable TV commercials and programs, as well as the finest video and film productions. More than 14,000 entries are received each year from all 50 states and many foreign countries.

The award-winning DVD, "Protecting Our Kids Online," was unveiled at the 2008 Safe School Conference earlier this year. The DVD was a collaborative effort between the Pennsylvania Commission on Crime and Delinquency (PCCD), the Pennsylvania Department of Education, and the Pennsylvania State Police. Funding for the video was provided by PCCD and supported by the Center for Schools and Communities.

DVDs were sent to public and private schools across Pennsylvania, as well as intermediate units. In addition, more than 500 law enforcement offices in the state have received training in the Protecting Our Kids Online initiative.
