In this episode of Mental Health News Radio, host Kristen Sunanta Walker welcomes Joseph Yeager, founder of Safety Net of PA, LLC and a board member of Fifty Shades of Purple Against Bullying. Joseph shares his insights into the complex world of cyber safety, emphasizing the importance of awareness and education in combating cyber bullying and related online threats.
With over three years of experience working with FSP Against Bullying, Joseph discusses the challenges individuals face in maintaining privacy and security on social media platforms. Joseph highlights the need for better understanding of cyber bullying, sextortion, and cyber stalking, as well as the legal protections available to victims. He stresses that many people are unaware of how to report online abuse, leading to frustration and feelings of helplessness.
Joseph's organization, Safety Net of PA, actively works to provide resources and support to those affected by cyber bullying, offering daily tips and advice on social media safety. An alarming statistic shared by Joseph reveals that 40% of teenagers do not use privacy settings on social media, making their personal information vulnerable to public exposure. This underscores the necessity for education and intervention to protect young users from potential harm.
Throughout the discussion, Joseph emphasizes the role of community and support groups in helping individuals cope with the repercussions of online abuse. He mentions Darkness to Light, an organization devoted to addressing child pornography and sexual abuse, which also offers training for stewards of children. Listeners are encouraged to visit Joseph's website, josephmyager.net, and follow Safety Net of PA on social media for valuable updates and resources.
The episode concludes with gratitude for Joseph's contributions and a reminder of the ongoing efforts to improve cyber safety for all.
