Tomorrow I have the pleasure of sitting beside John Walsh, esteemed host of America’s Most Wanted, as we discuss the important topic of keeping your family safe in the digital age. Cox Communications and the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children recently issued its annual Tween Internet Survey. Parents, teens, and tweens ages 10 to 13 year-old were surveyed to get a sense of what they’re doing online and how much parents know about their children’s online activity.
Our conversation during the #CoxTakeCharge panel will focus on what can we do to make sure our kids are not engaging in risky behavior on social sites. It will be moderated by award-winning journalist and former CNN anchor, Jeanne Meserve, and also livestreamed.
Having grown up watching America’s Most Wanted, John Walsh has always been someone I’ve admired. He turned the personal tragedy of the murder of his 6 year old son into a lifelong mission, founding the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and developing processes for nationwide collaboration among law enforcement that didn’t exist when his son disappeared in 1981. He’s a television personality and criminal investigator, but having seen him speak recently at the NCMEC Gala in Washington, D.C., he’s incredibly passionate, charismatic, and intimidatingly smart.
To say I’m nervous is an understatement. John Walsh. Jeanne Meserve. A live event that’s also being streamed nationwide!
Please join me for the livestreamed event and submit questions or comments via Twitter.

While I’m nervous, Lands’ End and their styling team swooped in to provide a Cinderella-like moment by outfitting me for this event and eliminating any wardrobe worries. Huge thanks to Lands’ End for making sure I’ll look great but here’s hoping that I sound as fabulous as I look!
