We had an FBI agent from our local Internet Crimes office come in last spring to do a presentation for our parents. He was a wonderful speaker and was very happy to come in during a PTO meeting. Below is a link to the FBI's Parent Guide to Internet Safety. Should be required reading for all parents.
I got email back from Rick and here are the places he suggested you try for nationally speakers...
I-Safe
Netsmartz
National Center for Missing and Exploited Children
Office of Juvenile Justice and Deliquency Prevention
Attorney Generals office in a lot of states
Local Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force
I would think your best way would be to call your local police to start but I will email Rick and see if he has any ideas for other states too. Will let you know as soon as I hear something.

I would love to have a speaker come to our middle school to talk about internet safety. I have contacted the local police department to see if they know of someone. If anyone knows of someone in Illinois or Missouri, we'd love the info.
I'm looking into this also for our area maybe having a seminar on internet safety for parents after one of our PTO meetings. I havent been able to find anything yet thats here in the western NY area but I'm sure somethings bound to come up.

I'm not real sure where this needs to be posted but wanted to let ya know of something we will be providing this year. We are planning on having special speakers come in and the main one I am most excited about it Rick Woody. His daughter was killed here in Arkansas by a internet preditor. He is the resouce officer now at their school and he goes out and does presentations on internet safety to adults. He also has implemented training highschool students to go out and hold presentations for K-12th AND train other students in doing the same. If any of you are in Arkansas and would like more infor let me know ( This email address is being protected from spambots.
