THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK!

I am so very appreciative for the comments from parents, educators and other attendees.

A parent, who recently attended a Digital Empowerment for Parents event shared her thoughts – “The safety of our children is every parent’s priority and responsibility. I, personally, was shocked at how little I knew when I attended Captain Frank’s presentation at a local school. I walked out with my eye’s opened and a desire to share this information with other parents.

One school administrator recently commented, “Scott delivers a powerful message about internet and social media dangers facing our students today. Scott shares information and tips on how to keep our students safe, and our teachers and parents educated and informed“.

Another educator commented, “An eyewitness account of the dangers inherent to the digital lifestyles being led by our youth today. A powerful and compelling presentation, unlike anything I’ve experienced before or since“.

Parents who attend a Digital Empowerment for Parents event (2-hours) are provided access to a post-event survey. The graph to the right represents their responses to the first two questions. Thank  you parents!

Building Relationships

I have attended one of Captain Scott’s parent seminars. I love his messages of teaching, empowering our kids to navigate the digital world by being involved and talking with our kids. Loving them, building a relationship with them so they feel safe and comfortable coming to their parents with questions and concerns. His message isn’t just about restrictions and monitoring. I feel his message is to help us build our relationships with our kids. It’s so important that kids have those real world relationships at home rather than the online relationships they sometimes seek. Thank you Captain Frank!

A eyewitness account of the dangers inherent to the digital lifestyles being led by our youth today. A powerful and compelling presentation, unlike anything I’ve experienced before or since.

Enlightening Students

I appreciate the hard work and long hours you have put in to keep our children protected and giving them the information so they can make better decisions going forward from today. We can help them repair their past, be smart about today and have a bright and successful future. Again, thank you for coming to our school and enlightening our students, staff and parents.

Engaging and Amazing!

Scott was nothing less than informative, engaging and amazing.

I was able to be part of the parent presentation in the evening. Did not realize it was two hours and when Scott said that I inwardly cringed. But then he shared his story, and I could not look away. Parts of his presentation were like a bad accident, you want to look away but can’t. Then you want to know the ending. Although his truths scared me, he provided information, techniques and tools that helped parents realize that they can talk with their kids about making good digital decisions.

Scott does not speak to just schools; he can come into your workplace and share his experience and techniques with your teams. We need to work together, as a village, to teach kids how to be smart on the web. DEP is current, relevant, inspiring and engaging and worth two hours to keep our kids safe for a lifetime.

Privacy Settings

Great presentation! I could have listened all day to learn even more. You also presented to my son’s school the next day and as soon as I came home he asked for my phone, went to Privacy and started turning location off in things. You got through to the kids which it’s hard to get them to hear what their parents try to tell them so thank you! Hoping our school could have you visit every other year to refresh their memories!

Shines a Light

I can’t say enough about how educational Mr. Frank’s presentation was for our parents. While managing our children’s digital activities can seem scary and overwhelming, Mr. Frank shines a light on exactly why we need to be paying attention while giving parents tools and the confidence to protect their children. We are looking forward to having Mr. Frank back to speak with our students as well. You can never get the important message of digital safety to your students too much!

Maria Maluchnik - Counselor Genoa Area Local Schools

I am Glad

Captain Frank did an amazing job talking to our students and parents about the positive and negative aspects of the digital world. His approach is kid oriented and you can feel his passion for kid safety in his presentation.

Highly Recommend

Highly recommend every parent to listen to Scott Frank if you have the opportunity. Really eye opening.

STRONGLY Recommend

Our school brought Captain Frank in to speak to our students and parents during separate sessions. Given today’s use of technology and social media by our kids, I STRONGLY recommend attending his parent presentation. He is incredibly impactful, has a wealth of experience, and provides insightful information that we can all use in our daily lives with our kids. Trust me, this is not a presentation you want to miss!

Tonya Helvoigt - Parent

Wow Thank You

I had the opportunity to hear and experience first hand the parent presentation. I thought I was “savvy” when it comes to internet safety. But WOW!! Thank you!!!

Jules Elizabeth - Parent

Expected a lecture…..

I’m afraid our students expected a lecture on internet safety, however Scott’s approach engaged kids. After the presentation, a parent with two children shared that they “learned more than they thought they might… and they were both surprised at how ‘unsafe’ they may be.” This would be equally true for Scott’s presentation to parents and guardians. While there was a lot of information, he provided ways we can effectively work with our kids to empower them in their digital lives.

Jay Clark - Superintendent

Understanding and Empathetic

Captain Frank spoke candidly to our students and parents. He was informative, kind, tough, understanding, empathetic, and blunt all at the same time. He sparked conversations at home and at school that have changed our students. I HIGHLY recommend Capain Frank to come speak at your school!

Jen Arbogast - Hopewell-Loudon Schools

Eyes Opened

The safety of our children is every parent’s priority & responsibility.  I, personally, was shocked at how little I knew when I attended Captain Frank’s program at a local school. I walked out with my eye’s opened and a desire to share this information with other parents.

Every parent….

Every parent of any age child needs to attend this presentation. Scott says the hard things that we as parents need to hear in order to be better at parenting when it comes to technology. He gives it to you straight from his own experiences and of those he’s known over the years. It is evident that he is passionate about the well-being of children and families. If you are handing your child a device, you need educate yourself on it. His presentation is a great fist step. His information is current and relevant to today’s time.

Credible Experience

I have observed Scott’s presentations and he is excellent. We are fortunate someone of his caliber has embraced this topic with his passion, enthusiasm and credible experience.

Paul Palko - Account Executive at Terra State Community College

Must Experience

I attended Scott Frank’s Digital Empowerment Seminar for parents and immediately I knew I had to bring him to The Chapel.

First, it opened my eyes to some things I had no clue about! I thought I was pretty tech-savvy and aware of student culture. But there were several things that I didn’t know and was unaware of in the lives of our students.

Next, it gave me some great ground rules to set with our daughter as we were getting ready to give her a phone. When my two oldest kids finally got phones they were BASIC cell phones. But this kid was about to get a smartphone. Scott’s seminar gave me great tools to implement with our daughter BEFORE we gave her a phone.

Finally, it equipped me for much-needed conversations with our son who had a cell phone for a couple years at this point. It gave me insight into what apps students are using and how they are using them. And Scott gave our family some good practices to have in balancing cell phone usage in our home.

I truly TRULY cannot recommend this seminar enough. I hope you will take advantage of this opportunity!

Ken Rawson - Youth Pastor

Positive Impact

You did a super job of keeping the audience engaged and the feedback was very positive.  One individual even told us she deleted all of her Facebook contacts that she did not know.  So you really did have a positive impact and we are very grateful for your help in addressing these important issue with our clients.

Julia Sims, REC Specialist

Great Instructor

I went to the police academy with Scott. I worked patrol with him for over 8 years. You would be hard pressed to find a better instructor for your kids.

Damon Cecil - Compliance Officer Bedford Township Michigan

Very Happy

Was very happy I chose to attend. I gained some very valuable information. A couple of my kids attend one at school and came home talking about the information they learned. Was glad they could hear it from someone else. Would attend another one if in the area.

Parent

Appreciate Your Time

Everyone that I followed up with had nothing but good things to say about the presentation and most of them were thinking of how they can get you to come to their kids’ school to present there as well. Thank you again for taking the time to come visit our base and talk to our people, we truly appreciate your time and thanks for what you do!
