Dangers of Tech highlighted at Seneca Valley presentation
JACKSON TWP — Dozens of concerned parents crowded the auditorium at Seneca Valley Senior High School on Thursday night, April 27, all with the same thing on their minds — “How do I protect my child from the dangers of the digital world?”
That was the subject of Thursday’s Dangers of Tech presentation, conducted by the Pittsburgh branch of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
“We’re having concerns about how prevalent the cellphone use is, and the dangers that we’re hearing and seeing about social media,” said Tracy Vitale, district superintendent. “So we felt that this was one way to educate the community.”
The presentation fell days after Seneca Valley officially joined five other Western Pennsylvania school districts in a lawsuit against multiple social media giants, alleging harm to children’s mental health.
