Yesterday, September 25, 2007, was declared ‘Cyber Safety Day’ in New York City. A proclamation was signed by New York City Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg. Time Warner Cable and the Cyberangels also launched a $500,000 Public Safety Campaign. This campaign is a multi-media public safety program to help educate parents how to teach basic online safety at home.
Curtis Sliwa, the CEO and founder of the Guardian Angels founded the Cyberangels in 1995 in response to the growing number of online threats facing families. The Cyberangels was started to get information out to educate and protect internet users of all ages from identity theft, cyberbullying, pediphiles lurking in chat rooms, porn, and other risks.
There is an online version of the guide they produced available for download at-Time Warner.
If you would like more information on the Cyberangels you can go to that site at- Cyberangels.
With selfess dedication and passionate community service spanning nearly three decades, the Guardian Angels stand today as a leading violence prevention and education organization.

We are about to renew the contract (and increase his pay) with Rob Henry, manager of the I.T. Department.
The city website is not getting any easier to use, and problems from 2 years ago not corrected. Maybe I haven`t found the right page, but is there a place on the website that tells street addresses of the parks, with possibly a map of how to get there for out of town visitors? This seems like website 101 information that they can`t seem to find the time to correct.
