Join the Conversation: Protecting Our Kids in a Digital World

Posted November 10, 2025 by Prairie Wife -

As a mom of five, I know how challenging it can be to keep our kids safe online. You can do everything right, and yet, evil can still find its way in. My family learned this the hard way when our teenage daughter was stalked by an adult woman, an experience no parent ever expects to face. Walking through that heartbreaking situation opened my eyes to how vulnerable our children can be, even in a close-knit Wyoming community.

That’s why I’m partnering with Uprising to host a series of events focused on protecting our kids in a digital world. This winter, we’re bringing this important conversation to Cheyenne, Casper, and Sheridan. By sharing our story and combining it with expert insight and opportunities for community discussion, we hope to educate and empower Wyoming parents with practical tools to recognize warning signs, initiate tough conversations, and help their children thrive safely in today’s connected world.

“One Family’s Story, Every Parent’s Lesson: Protecting Kids in a Digital Age”

This NO COST event is presented by Uprising and Sponsored in part by the Wyoming Human Trafficking Task Force and the Wyoming Division of Victim Services.

When the unthinkable happened, one Wyoming family found themselves facing the dark side of technology. Join Prairie Wife and Uprising as we combine lived experience, expert insight, and open discussion to equip parents with tools to protect their children. Together, we’ll tackle the hard truths about technology, safety, and raising strong kids in Wyoming. This workshop uses their story to help every parent learn how to keep kids safe, start difficult conversations, and recognize risks before it’s too late.

I know how busy life gets, but I’m asking you (as a parent, grandparent, or community member) to make the time to attend one of these events. The conversations we’ll have could make all the difference for your family or for someone you care about.

You’ll hear from local experts who understand the unique challenges our kids face here in Wyoming, and you’ll leave with resources you can use right away to help keep your children safe.

Most importantly, you’ll be part of building a community that’s coming together to protect what matters most: our children.
