Students and their parents attended a cybercrime seminar organized San Diego Police Association Tuesday evening to learn how to stay safe online.

Cathy Baker and her daughter Madison went to Challenger Middle School Tuesday for the cyber-bullying lessons.

“I’ve never seen it personally but I’ve overheard other people talking about it in class say ‘So and so did this, or so and so said that,” the 7th grader Madison Baker said.

Cathy Baker said the family has dealt with cybercrimes in the past. Madison’s older sister had a run-in online with a sexual predator.

“It’s very scary when the FBI calls you from New Mexico to tell you that your 13-year-old has been talking to someone who shouldn’t even be online,” Baker said.
