Have a great summer and Go Generals!!!

The purpose of this communication is to alert families about a troubling pattern of online cyber abuse, which targets youth aged 14-18, particularly males, referred to as Sextortion. Sextortion occurs when someone is coerced into sending explicit images and once those images are received, they are used to threaten and extort (usually for money). In most cases, the teen believes they are exchanging the images with a teen of a similar age - this is part of the scam. Recently, federal law enforcement warned schools to be on the lookout for warning signs so that we may have the opportunity to intervene in potentially dangerous situations before things go too far. Last week, Hulu released a powerful documentary called IMPACT X Nightline: Sextortion that serves as an urgent warning and call to action for parents. While we recommend the film, we do so with caution as teen suicide is discussed throughout - please take care when watching. Included here are links to information, tips, and resources we’ve gathered about protecting teens from harm by online predators. We hope it will encourage conversation at home and between teens within their peer groups. As always, we welcome your feedback. Report concerns to Safe Oregon using any of the following methods.

Two student health centers will be open for health services over summer break:

• Parkrose Student Health Center - June 17-August 23
• David Douglas Student Health Center - July 23-August 21 ( Tuesdays-Thursdays)

Dos centros abiertos durante las vacaciones de verano 2024:

• Parkrose Student Health Center - Del 17 de Junio al 23 de Agosto.
• David Douglas Student Health Center - de Martes a Jueves del 23 de Julio al 21 de Agosto.
