will be available for our members both online through our website
and also offline at schools, malls, bookstores, and other appropriate
locations. We will also release a series of safe internet cafés
around Thailand also called “The YOZone,” as well as a series
of L.E.A.P. Learning and Career Centers. In 2009, we will
also release the world’s first true Internet Service Provider
(ISP) for kids in Asia. Last, but certainly not least, we
will release the first fully-accredited online K-12
curriculum in Thailand with content from
OdysseyWare in America. We will be quite busy
this year!”

“In America, over 2,100 children are reported
missing each and every day from normal
everyday families from all social and economic
levels that love them dearly, and just because
this terrible problem isn’t publicized here in
Thailand as it is in America; I can guarantee
you that it is just as serious of a problem
here in Thailand and throughout all of
Southeast Asia! For a few dollars a child,
we feel that we have the solution
to dramatically reduce these
numbers, but we cannot do it
alone! Protecting our children
from online and offline dangers
will take a community effort. For
more information on how your
readers can help us in our mission
to protect the children of the world
they can go to www.leapingsmart.com.
This is where the learning starts, and this
is where the danger can end!”



A few tips on what you can do to make

the internet a safer place for your children
What greater gift could a parent, grandparent, relative, neighbor, or just someone – or some company – that cares about the safety and welfare of children give to a child better than a gift that may one day save their life or, at a minimum, will protect them and prevent them from a potential danger that could be lurking just right around the corner… or with their next keystroke on a computer! The main thing – remember the three Cs of L.E.A.P.: Caution, Communication and Commonsense. Get involved and talk to your kids about sexual predators and potential online dangers. Young children shouldn’t use chat rooms, period. The dangers are too great. As children get older, direct them towards well-monitored kids’ chat rooms. Even your teens should be encouraged to use monitored chat rooms. If your children take part in chat rooms, make sure you know which ones they visit and with whom they talk. Monitor the chat areas yourself to see what kind of conversations take place. Instruct your children to never leave the chat room’s public area. Chat rooms offer users one-on-one chats with other users so chat monitors and other users can’t read these conversations. Keep the internet-connected computer in a common area of the house, never in a child’s bedroom. It is much more difficult for a predator to establish a relationship with your child if the computer screen is easily visible. When your children are young, they should share the family email address rather than have their own email accounts. As they get older, you can ask your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to set up a separate email address, but your children’s email can still reside in your account. Tell your children to never respond to instant messaging or emails from strangers. For places outside your supervision, such as a public library, a school, or friends’ homes, find out what computer safeguards are used.
