BATAVIA – An Internet safety specialist on Wednesday challenged a group of about 100 sixth-graders to think before they “friend,” part of a program, Digital Safety 101, presented at Rotolo Middle School in Batavia.

Sarah Migas, who works with the Illinois Attorney General’s Office, told students that, “you need to make really hard choices about who you choose to share your digital information with, and also, what’s appropriate to post,” on platforms such as Instagram, Snapchat, cellphones and the Internet in general.

“Everyone ‘friends’ everyone,” Migas said. “That’s why I have a job.”
