The Juvenile Welfare Board of Pinellas County and Pinellas County Sheriff’s Office introduced a new free program that will help protect children from cyber crimes.

The Juvenile Welfare Board has teamed up with the sheriff’s office to combat cyberbullies, human traffickers, and online predators by offering a free annual Parent Protech subscription to parents, grandparents and caregivers.

The initiative “safeguards Pinellas County children while online and equips families with vital support as students approach the holiday break, a time marked by increased device usage,” the sheriff’s office said.
