Fond du Lac, WI – A community event Wednesday night in Fond du Lac will shed light on the growing danger of online sextortion and its devastating impact on families.
According to organizers, the session takes place Wednesday, September 24, from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Fond du Lac High School, 801 Campus Drive.
The Fond du Lac Police Department will open the evening with insights into sextortion trends, prevention strategies, and ways parents can help protect children online.
The program will also feature John DeMay, a Michigan father whose 17-year-old son, Jordan, tragically lost his life to online sextortion. DeMay’s mission is to raise awareness, inspire change, and help shield other families from experiencing similar heartbreak.
Following the presentation, a panel discussion with DeMay and members of the Fond du Lac Police Department will give attendees the opportunity to learn more about prevention and community resources.
Organizers note that parental discretion is advised, as the content is not recommended for children under 10.
