KIDS EXPOSED to Internet Predators, Sex & Drugs - THE CONSEQUENCES
SEMINAR PROGRAM (8:00 - 4:00)
Randall Overdorff, LPC, LMFT will present a workshop on issues regarding the proliferation of pornography and drugs and how they combine to put our children at risk for sexual acting out. A discussion of normal childhood and teen sexuality will provide a framework to help differentiate sexualized behavior that is a predictiable reaction to the above influences from more toxic predatory behavior in this population. Current disturbing trends regarding sexual behavior among children will be highlighted, as well as initiatives addressing this problem. The importance of community teamwork and the roles of stakeholders will be discussed. A listing of resources for intervention and information will be provided.
Mr. Overdorff has demonstrated a career-long commitment to children and especially children at risk for abuse. This workshop is highly recommended for anyone who has interest in the safety and well-being of children.
FBI Special Agent, Michael Yoder will be presenting a workshop entitled "Online Sexual Predators and Child Pornography." The presentation will focus on identifying the problem, characteristics of offenders including online predators and how child pornography exacerbates the problem. With his extensive background in criminal profiling and especially internet crimes against children, Agent Yoder brings a unique and interesting approach to investigative techniques. He will demonstrate that knowing victim characteristics as well as predator techniques can improve detection and ultimately protect our children.
