‘Spread Heart, Not Hurt’

Scenes from tonight’s Westport Police-Youth Collaborative “cop shop” at Toquet Hall, which aims to foster closer ties between police and teens. Jen Cirino, Westport school system’s coordinator of Information and technology, provided guidance on prevention of Identity theft.  She told the students to be selective about what they include in their online profile, know what is public and which is private, know how to use the site’s protection features, and choose a screen name and picture carefully, She summed up: “Think before you post or text, a bad reputation can be just a click away.  Spread heart, not hurt.” Dave Matlow for WestportNow.com
