Local pastor and cybersecurity volunteer offers free family cyber-safety training
Summary
Adebo Wali (also identified as Joshua Adekoli) urged the council to support free community training on cyberbullying, sextortion and human-trafficking prevention, offering to provide educational sessions for families and schools through Guardian Tech Alliance.
During the public-comment period, Adebo Wali (who also gave the name Joshua Adekoli) spoke on behalf of Guardian Tech Alliance and offered free educational awareness training for families on cybersecurity threats affecting children.
Wali described rising harms such as human trafficking, cyberbullying and sextortion and said prevention through parental education is preferable to seeking cures after incidents occur. "It's free training because I'm a father," he said, urging the city and school district to help advertise and host sessions so families can learn to monitor and protect children using mobile phones.
