April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. The Archdiocese of Miami
runs one of the most robust awareness and prevention programs in
the country. For more information contact the Safe Environment
Office at 305-762-1250. Below is a snippet from one of the Virtus
program’s Protecting God’s Children online monthly bulletins.
Social media is an integrated part of today’s
society. Each of us has the opportunity to use social
media wisely, without compromising our safety,
privacy or reputation. The following are some general
strategies to improve your social media presence and
perhaps share with the youth who are already utilizing
these platforms.
 Do properly set up the privacy settings and
preferences within the social media apps, sites and
software you use.
 Be aware of the social media’s Terms and
Conditions prior to accepting. For example, anything
posted on Instagram becomes their property to use in
any way and for any purpose they choose.
 Do not compromise your identity. Never post your
address, date of birth, phone number or other personal
contact information.
 Resist accepting all friend and/or follower
requests. Having lots of friends online is not the status
symbol some people think it is and can increase your
risk of victimization.
 Do not post or respond to anything online when you
are emotionally charge up. Once something is posted it
cannot be taken back. Pause before you post.
If you or someone you know has been the victim of an internet
predator, please contact www.cybertipline.com
FIRST COMMUNION RETREAT
The First Communion Retreat will be
Saturday, April 18 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00

special day for your child. If you have small
children, please make arrangement for their care.
Modest attire is required. Students dressed immodestly will be
sent home to change and return. Examples of immodest attire:
shorts, ripped/graffiti covered clothing, low cut pants or tops,
slippers/flip flops, shower shoes, tank tops, shirts exposing the
stomach or cleavage, pajamas, or anything with obscene
signs.

Abril es el Mes de la Prevención del Abuso Infantil
Abril es el Mes de la Prevención del Abuso Infantil. La Arquidiócesis de
Miami tiene uno de los programas más poderosos de concienciación y
prevención en la nación. Para más información, comuníquese con la
Oficina de Ambiente Seguro, 305-762-1250. A continuación, un
fragmento de uno de los boletines mensuales en línea del programa de
Virtus, “Para Proteger a los Niños de Dios”.
Las redes sociales son parte integrante de la sociedad moderna. Cada uno
de nosotros tiene la oportunidad de utilizarlas con sabiduría, sin arriesgar
nuestra seguridad, privacidad o reputación. A continuación algunas
estrategias generales para mejorar su presencia en las redes sociales, y que
puede compartir con los jóvenes que ya utilizan estas plataformas.

Instale debidamente las configuraciones de privacidad en las
aplicaciones de las redes sociales, los lugares en línea y los programas que
utiliza. 
Esté consciente de los términos y condiciones antes de aceptarlos.
Por ejemplo, lo que se publica en Instagram pasa a ser propiedad de
Instagram y puede ser utilizado de la manera y con el propósito que ellos
deseen. 
No ponga en riesgo su identidad. Nunca publique su dirección, fecha
de nacimiento, número telefónico o cualquier otra información personal
de contacto. 
Absténgase de aceptar todas las solicitudes de amistad o seguidores.
Tener muchas amistades en línea no es sinónimo de posición social, como
piensa alguna gente, y puede aumentar su riesgo de convertirse en
víctima. No publique o responda en línea cuando se sienta cargado de emotividad.
Una vez algo se publica, no puede deshacerse. Tome una pausa antes de
publicar. Si usted o alguien que conoce ha sido víctima de un predador por
internet, comuníquese con www.cybertipline.com.
