With the click of a mouse and touch a keyboard, you can go anywhere in the World Wide Web. That’s a frightening thought for most parents.
Attorney General Andrew Cuomo wants to help. The father of two is on a mission to get every Internet provider in the state to block child pornography.
Cuomo said, "It's one of those issues that everybody says it's terrible and we've got to do something about it. And years and years go by and we don't do enough."
In the last year and a half, 15 Internet providers in Central New York have agreed to block underage porn sites. But that's not enough. Cuomo says his office and these parents and teachers must also educate children about Internet safety.
