RIDGEWOOD, N.J. - A U.S. senator from New Jersey is proposing a federal grant program to research and educate children about Internet safety.
Democrat Bob Menendez hopes educating teens, teachers and parents will stop children from sending explicit photos of themselves and others over cell phones and the Internet.
The four-year grant proposal, which is expected to be introduced next week, would authorize $25 million to $35 million each year toward Internet safety programs. The grants would be awarded on a two-year basis and administered by the Department of Justice.
Menendez discussed his proposal Friday at the George Washington Middle School in Ridgewood, one of the first in the state to start a peer-to-peer program called Teenangels, in which 13- to 18-year-old volunteers spread the word about safe Internet surfing practices.
