Curtis Sliwa, now a radio talk show host, is the President & Founder of The Guardian Angels, a worldwide safety organization, and the founder of Cyberangels in 1995. To learn more about Guardian Angels...visit the Guardian Angels pages.

No one can ignore cyberspace anymore. Our children need to learn how to use this extraordinary resource, safely. Women need to be able to surf without being harassed. Seniors need to be able to chat and shop online without being scammed by cyber-con artists. .

For more than twenty-three years, Guardian Angels has devoted all of its energies to helping keep communities around the world safe. For the last five years we have expanded our safety and education programs to cyberspace, providing support and assistance to families and law enforcement worldwide.

I am now a radio talk show host in New York, on WABC Radio. In late 1994 a woman called in, asking me what Guardian Angels was doing about protecting people online. As a result of that call, Cyberangels was formed. I asked one of our Guardian Angels to run it for us, which he did until 1998, when Parry Aftab took over.

Before Parry took the helm, Cyberangels was a different group than it is now, but was devoted to the same mission as it is now...making sure that everyone could enjoy the Internet safely.

And the Internet was very different then, as well. Five years ago, when I first conceived of Cyberangels, the World Wide Web was just getting started. The information superhighway was still under construction, and most of us weren't online. These few short years have made an extraordinary difference. And I am proud to say that Cyberangels and its volunteers have been an important part of that difference.

Keep an eye on this site...and join us in helping to build a safer and more friendly Internet for everyone!!! If you have any questions, ideas, send us an email. If you want to volunteer for Cyberangels, drop by their volunteering pages. If you want to support them and their cause, check out their SOS pages and let them know how you can help. If you're interested in joining or helping Guardian Angels itself, drop by our site and e-mail us.

We're all in this together.

Curtis Sliwa
President and Founder of Guardian Angels.
