JWB Interim CEO Discusses Keeping Kids Safe Online on the Impact Catalyst Podcast

JWB Interim CEO Michael Mikurak joined Joe Hamilton on a recent episode of the Impact Catalyst podcast to discuss the free digital safety tools from Parent ProTech that JWB has made available to Pinellas families to protect their children online.

Cyberbullies, human traffickers, and online predators can enter homes 24/7 through a child’s phone, computer, or gaming device. Left unchecked, it’s as risky as leaving a child’s bedroom window open or your front door unlocked.

“There’s a growing gap between what parents know about technology and how their children actually use it,” stated Michael Mikurak, Interim CEO of the Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County (JWB). “Studies tell us that kids average 8 to 11 hours on their devices each day, and online crimes against children are up as well. That’s why JWB launched a groundbreaking initiative to safeguard children online and equip families with vital support.”
