MEDIA ADVISORY, Feb. 16 /Christian Newswire/ -- The following is submitted by Enough Is Enough:

WHAT: Enough Is Enough will announce the national launch of Internet Safety 101SM, the only comprehensive DVD teaching series, workbook and Web site on the market specifically designed to educate, equip and empower parents, educators and other caring adults with the knowledge and resources they need to protect kids from dangers across all Internet enabled devices.

WHY: Today's kids have free and easy access to pornography. Predators and cyberbullies have easy and anonymous access to vulnerable kids.

Adults are often uninformed, ill-equipped and overwhelmed about how to deal with Internet dangers and to ensure that children under their care have a safe and rewarding online experience.
