After the death of my mother, I and my four siblings were put into foster care for 6 years during the late 50’s – 60’s.

The internet is one of the most revolutionary inventions of our time. It allows humans to connect with people all over the world and accomplish things that generations from the past couldn’t even dream of. Yet, for all that we know, there are still parts of the internet that most people aren’t aware of or don't understand. For parents, this is a scary thought.
