The seminar which is free to participants is from 7:00 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. at the Catawba Valley Community College auditorium. Parents and teachers will learn about the educational, legal, and social dangers of “sexting” and the steps that can be taken to address and prevent it. 

Frederick Lane, nationally recognized author, attorney, educational consultant and speaker, will present the seminar.  Lane is an expert on the impacts of student use and misuse of electronic communication tools. He has appeared on a variety of national television and radio programs to discuss this topic. “If you are a parent or caregiver of a teenager, you will not want to miss this opportunity to learn from Frederick Lane’s expertise on this challenging issue,” said Susan Lee, Catawba County Parenting Network director.
