Miss America, Legislators Promote Internet Safety
Newly crowned Miss America Lauren Nelson met with state legislative leaders Monday to promote legislation placing increased restrictions on those who prey on children online.
"Internet safety is a timely issue that's not always at the forefront of our thinking, so my job as Miss America is to promote awareness and education of this issue," said Nelson, a Lawton native whose personal platform issue as Miss America is Internet safety and protecting children online.
House Bill 1714, by Rep. Paul Wesselhoft, would allow the courts to prohibit registered sex offenders from accessing certain communication Web sites like MySpace and requires them to list any current e-mail addresses they are using.
