Are
your children safe while online? Michigan families, especially minors,
are becoming inundated with advertisements from alcohol, tobacco,
pornography and gambling marketers through different internet and cell
phone in boxes. Thankfully, the State of Michigan offers a free program
to stop adult advertisements from reaching e-mails, mobile phones (text

schools and can be located at www.protectmichild.com.
