About Parry...

Hi! My name is Parry Aftab. I'm an international corporate lawyer and specialize in Internet law. I'm also a mother of two. I became involved in family online safety a few years ago, and wrote A Parents' Guide to the Internet and the soon to be released book, The Parent's Guide to Protecting Children in Cyberspace (McGraw-Hill, January 2000). I have been appointed by UNESCO to head up its online safety and children on the Internet project for North America. To learn more about the international effort drop by our Innocence in Danger page, or visit UNESCO's site. The North American program is called Wired Kids. The wiredkids.org site will launch in this Fall, 1999.

I am also honored to serve as the Executive Director of WiredSafety, the world's largest online safety and education program

To learn more about me, feel free to drop by my bio page, Parry's Thoughts, and our press page.

We set up and designed this site to be the one place where everyone who cares about family online safety and quality Internet family content can pick up ideas and share resources, information and have a place to brag a little about successes....We coded it too, so you can blame us when things don't work <g> (for those of you who don't know what "<g>" means, check out our Understanding the Web Basics page...)

We will have FAQs (frequently asked questions), tips for experienced web-surfers and newbies alike, website reviews written by our visitors, my "picks," resources, safety tips, teaching plans and training programs, interviews with cybercelebrities, information on leading child advocacy groups and child safety initiatives and online tours...and anything else we can dream up...Every few days we'll update sections of the site, and will share thoughts, ideas and announcements in Parry's Thoughts.

If you have questions, you can ask Parry, at our new Ask Parry page, where she will answer select questions publically. She answers all questions sent to her privately. Drop her an e-mail.

This team, Alyssa and Sophia (Sophie's the one with feathers...), teaches your kids some rules about online safety.... Sophia even has her own safe surfing club and a printable safe surfing permit just for kids....

Whew!
We can't do this alone, though...we need your help!

Got some ideas about what we should add to the site?

We're listening...
