OK 2 SAY
The Attorney General’s Office features two customized programs to protect Michigan children. The Michigan Cyber Safety Initiative (CSI) is a national, award-winning program and has been presented to more than one million students. It teaches children the importance of being safe, making smart decisions, and protecting themselves and others while online. The new student safety program, OK2SAY, provides a confidential way to file tips on criminal activity or potential harm directed at students, school employees, and schools. Tips can be submitted 24/7 by phone, text message, email, mobile app, or on the OK2SAY website.
The 6th - 8th grade presentation combines both CSI and OK2SAY. The students get an in-depth explanation of OK2SAY – how it works, what types of incidents to report, how to submit a tip, and what will happen with the tip. The dynamic presentation also covers bullying, cyberbullying, suicide talk, sexting, assaultive behaviors, the predator threat, and how students can protect themselves online. Students see videos featuring teenage Internet predator survivors, the negative impact of sexting, and Michigan teens that have died by suicide in part because of bullying. The presentation encourages students to take a stand and provides guidance on how they can make a positive difference. Students in K – 8th grades are provided an Online Safety Contract to discuss with a parent(s) or guardian(s)
For more information about OK2SAY, visit www.mi.gov/ok2say. All the videos, handouts, and program information are available on the Michigan CSI website at www.mi.gov/csi. All programming is offered free of charge.
