![]() | Keeping Foster Children Safe Online : Positive Strategies to Prevent Cyberbullying, Inappropriate Contact, and Other Digital Dangers Foster children are more likely than other children to be involved in risky activities online due to backgrounds of neglect and abuse, an absence of supportive adults, lower self-esteem, and greater exposure to drugs and alcohol. Dr. John DeGarmo is a proud foster and adoptive parent who has fostered over 40 children. He regularly speaks on his experiences at conferences and training sessions, and is dedicated to improving and promoting successful foster and adoptive care systems.
