Cox Communications will team up with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, children's advocate John Walsh and Miss America 2007 Lauren Nelson on the second National Teen Summit on Internet Safety.
The event -- an extension of Cox’s Take Charge! initiative -- will be held Wednesday, June 27 at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
High-school students and their parents and guardians will address the ways teens use the Internet, and the program will explore issues including teens' use of popular social-networking sites and ways to help improve communication between parents and guardians and their children to encourage safer use of the Internet, Cox said in a prepared statement.
Cox began working with NCMEC and America's Most Wanted host Walsh in 2004 to help educate families on how to manage the use of mass media in their homes.
