BATON ROUGE, LA – With schools set to release for break soon –
Attorney General Jeff Landry is encouraging Louisiana parents, guardians, and
students to add the “Be Smart with Your Smart Phone” booklet to their summer reading lists.
“While smart phones provide easy outlets to connect and share with
others; if used incorrectly, they can present big problems,” said General
Landry. “So with summer break fast approaching and the time being spent on
these devices likely increasing, I hope all Louisianans take the time to learn
ways to be smart with their smart phones.”
In a video released today, General Landry highlights some of the
many public safety issues related to smart phones: including – but not
limited to – texting while driving, cyber bullying, and talking to child
predators. And he called on all Louisiana residents to read the “Be Smart with
Your Smart Phone” booklet.
“From oversharing to embarrassing situations to dangerous
predicaments, Louisiana youth and adults can run into serious (and sometimes
legal) troubles by not being smart with their smart phones,” added General
Landry. “So please take the time to read this booklet, share it with others,
and help keep your loved ones safe.”
