RCMP investigate Man for Possible inappropriate Conversations With Warman Youth
On November 2 , 2016 RCMP released a statement explaining that they were investigating a complaint that had been filed of a possible inappropriate conversation taking place between an adult and a youth . The incident was said to have taken place via a social media application with an adult male , located in another province . The RCMP are taking the matter seriously and upon further investigation , other youth at Warman Community Middle School may have also been in contact with the same male . No charges have currently been laid , and the RCMP are working with the Prairie Spirit School Division to ensure all Warman Community Middle School parents are aware of the incident and can speak with their children regarding safety when using social media sites and the internet . The RCMP stated that they have not received any complaints of physical contact between the person of interest and children within the community . “ A message has been sent to all parents in Warman Community Middle School and Prairie Spirit is working closely with the RCMP to ensure the safety of all of our students ,” said Tracey Young , Learning Superintendent , Prairie Spirit School Division .
As the investigation is ongoing , the RCMP is unable to provide further details regarding the incident . “ The big message is this : the Internet can be a dangerous place . Parents must be cognizant of the risks your children may face online and you must monitor your child ’ s online activity . It is important for parents to have regular conversations with their children about what inappropriate online conversation and behavior is ,” Staff Sgt . Scott Lambie , Saskatchewan Internet Child Exploitation Unit Provincial Coordinator , stated . Although those conversations can be difficult , Lambie recommends visiting Cybertip . ca , Canada ’ s national tip line for reporting the online sexual exploitation for children . Through Cybertip . ca , parents and youth are able to find valuable resources . “ If you need to report something , contact your local RCMP detachment , police service or call Crime Stoppers anonymously ,” Lambie added .
