The Santa Rosa County School District is partnering with "Smart Social" to give parents more guidance/Santa Rosa County School DistrictSANTA ROSA COUNTY, Fla. -- A new partnership is helping parents better understand both the risks -- and the benefits-- of the online world.
"It's kind of a push-pull of 'How do I keep him safe and also let him live in the world that he lives in?' Santa Rosa County parent Melissa Atha said. The Santa Rosa County School District is partnering with "Smart Social" to give parents more guidance."I didn't grow up with technology, but he is. So we're definitely approaching it from two different perspectives," Atha said."You may think your kids are safe in the corner of the house with headphones on, but they're actually a million miles away chatting with people who are teaching them things that you don't want them to learn," Smart Social founder John Ochs said."We can talk about tricky people in the real world," she said. "We can get that message through. But what we didn't think about was tricky people hiding online. People pretending to be children in gaming platforms that are not.""Strangers online are very good at manipulating kids in some ways," Ochs said. "And making the kids feel very comfortable to give them information and so on.""I convinced him that this was something that was really important," Atha said. "And honestly, it opened up dialogue between the two of them that I never imagined. I mean, that communication pathway between the two of us is so important." The live on-line events are free and will continue throughout the year, covering a range of topics tied to kids’ online safety.The Santa Rosa County School District is partnering with "Smart Social" to give parents more guidance/Santa Rosa County School DistrictThe Mobile Housing Authority has announced that the following Public Housing waiting lists will open to new applicants on Monday, March 30, 2026, at 9:00 am.TheMobile, Ala. — The Mobile County Judicial Commission has announced a timeline for filling a vacancy on the Circuit Court following the resignation of Circuit JuA federal judge has allowed major portions of a lawsuit accusing Escambia County’s district attorney and sheriff of retaliatory arrests to move forward, while dAccording to ALEA, a single-vehicle crash that occurred at approximately 4:59 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, has claimed the life of a Theodore man.
