The internet and social media platforms are essential parts of modern life, but they also pose significant risks to children. According to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, reports of online enticement increased by 97.5% in 2020 alone. Cyberbullying, exposure to inappropriate content, and online predators are just a few dangers that children face daily.

We urge local authorities in Bridgeport, CT to implement stricter regulations and provide educational programs aimed at safeguarding our children online. By taking these steps, we can create a safer digital environment for our youth. Please sign this petition to help protect the safety of children on the internet and social media.
