Wired Safety

WiredSafety.org is the world's largest Internet safety and help group, comprised of thousands of unpaid volunteers. It is dedicated to helping families enjoy the new technologies, safely, privately and responsibly. Unlike other organizations which provide information and education alone, WiredSafety provides one-to-one assistance for victims of cyberabuse that may not arise to the level of a cybercrime and is not handled by law enforcement. Run by cyberlawyer, Parry Aftab, WiredSafety helps everyone stay safer online.

WiredSafety's cyberhelpline gives site visitors access to free help when they need it via the Internet. Its special team of helpline volunteers is assigned to cases and works one-to-one online to help resolve individual problems and get victims help when they need it. WiredSafety.org assists more cases of cyberharassment than any other organization in the world, helping thousands each month through its site and report line. Cyberbullying cases can be reported to the report line as well where parents and the cyberbullying victims can find a helping hand and knowledgeable help.

Its Teenangels, teen Internet safety expert program, is heralded by MTV, Teen People, Congress, Parliament and leading magazines, such as Prevention and Ladies Home Journal. Through their guidance children and other teens understand the consequences of risky online behavior. Through their consulting, the industry understands what young people want online.
