In Online Predators, An Internet Insurgency: A Field Manual for Teaching and Parenting in the Digital Arena Jeffrey A. Lee brings his ten plus years' experience in the fight against online child exploitation to bear in an easy to follow guide for all with a stake in the life of a child. This book equips parents, guardians, extended family, and educational professionals with practical strategies to help keep kids safe in a technology connected world. Instead of focusing on ever changing technology, Lee proposes a key fundamental change in the fight against online predation-to develop an insatiable curiosity about their child's online life, then get in the front lines and stay there.
Jeffrey A. Lee is a twenty year veteran of law enforcement, with the majority of his career spent fighting online exploitation. He lives in Texas with his wife and three sons.
