NWL- La ICAC Task Force

I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Welcome to the Northwest Louisiana Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force Myspace Page. The NWL ICAC Task Force is made up of law enforcement agencies from the northwest part of the state. We are part of a statewide network, as well as a national network of ICAC Task Forces.
Our main objectives are to keep children safe from Internet predators and to help to educate parents about how they can keep their children safe. Since Myspace.com is the fastest growing and most widely used social networking site among children on the Internet, we felt that a Task Force profile may be a great resource for children and parents alike
This is a forum where parents and children can submit questions and concerns and receive a prompt response. Any child who would like may add The Louisiana ICAC Task Force as a Myspace.com friend, upon doing so, the Northwest Louisiana ICAC Badge will show up as a friend on their profile. ,
Although the individuals pictured on this profile have all been arrested for some type of Internet Crimes Against Children, they are all innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

Task Force members are available upon request to speak to schools, parents, churches and other civic organizations.

Without proper supervision, children can easily be exposed to inappropriate material and messages, be exploited by sexual predators and become victims to unscrupulous con artists. We want to help you keep your child safe. MySpace TipsMake sure that your child's profile is set to private. Do not allow your child to post any pictures of themselves, especially ones in which they are easily identifiable, on their profile. Monitor your child's Myspace.com account to insure they are not posting any personal information about themselves on their profile. Ask your child to tell you who they are communicating with on Myspace.com; make sure that they are not being contacted by strangers. Net TipsParents should establish ground-rules for accessing the Internet. Your technical capabilities and lack of time may limit your involvement, but you can shape web surfing into a family activity. Use a common sense approach to family Internet use:

  • Place the computer in a central area of the house such as the family room, den or kitchen.
  • Establish specific times when access to the Internet is permitted and keep that schedule.
  • If your child uses a computer at school, call and see if his or her school has adopted an “acceptable use policy” for the Internet. Use this policy as a tool to establish guidelines at home.
  • Limit the length of access time. This will encourage your child to go directly to the information required, rather than aimlessly wander or surf the Internet.
  • Explain to your children that many sites on the Internet are not appropriate for children or young adults, and they are expected to stay away from them.
  • Make it clear to your child you are aware that there is pornographic material on the Internet, and that looking at such material is forbidden.
  • Explain that if the sites’ address has adult language in it, the site is not to be visited.
  • If the child has access to a credit card, instruct the child never to give it out over the Internet.
  • Instruct your child to talk to you if he or she ever finds anything on the Internet that makes them feel uncomfortable.
  • Encourage communication with your children. Ask about their Internet experiences and what they have learned.

    • Red FlagsSecretive behavior on the computer. You feel unwelcome at an on-line session. Unexplained loss of capacity on the computer’s hard-drive. (It may be crowded with pornographic image files, which are typically very large). A sudden new friend you don’t know. Excessive time on the Internet. Hidden floppy or Zip disks which may be used for storage of inappropriate or illegal files.
