WiredSafety is a 501(c) (3) charity and the largest and oldest online safety, education, and help group in the world. Originating in 1995 as a group of volunteers rating Web sites, it now provides one-to-one help, extensive information, and education to cyberspace users of all ages on a myriad of Internet and interactive technology safety issues.

These services are offered through a worldwide organization comprised entirely of volunteers who administer specialized Web sites and programs; these volunteers range in age from eighteen to eighty and run the gamut from TV personalities, teachers, law enforcement officers, PhD's, writers and librarians to stay-at-home moms, retired persons, and students. WiredSafety’s founder and Executive Director, cyberlawyer Parry Aftab, is also an unpaid volunteer.

WiredSafety’s work falls into four major areas:

• Assistance for online victims of cybercrime and harassment.
• Advice, Training and Help for law enforcement worldwide on preventing, spotting and investigating cybercrime.
• Education for children, parents, communities, law enforcement, and educators.
• Information and Awareness on all aspects of online safety, privacy, responsible use and security.

Those who can benefit from WiredSafety’s expertise include:

• Parents, grandparents and caregivers.
• Kids, preteens, teens and college students.
• Members of the Internet and interactive technology industries.
• Law enforcement, legislators, the judicial community and regulatory agencies.
• Schools and other educational institutions.
