I would like to thank you for reading my blog. If you have gotten this far, then it is obvious that you are interested in the topic of Internet Safety and protecting children and loved ones from abusive and addictive online use.

I have been involved in the computer industry for over 28 years and Law Enforcement for over 17. In 1998 I developed the Computer Crime Unit at the Rockland County Sheriff's Department in upstate New York and became a Computer Forensic Investigator. Since then I have examined well in excess of a few hundred computers, pdas, cellphones and other electronic devices for evidence. I am proud of a 100% conviction rate.

Because of my work in this field, I have been called upon to speak about the dangers that exist in the cyber-world. I have become an authority on the subject and have assisted Law Enforcement agencies around the world on a variety of cases.
 
In the past year, I have become a consultant to the Mental Health Care profession. Due to the damaging effects of addictive online behavior, I bring my expertise to Social Workers, Psychologists and Psychiatrists to help them understand the complexities of a web addicted person. As the blog progresses, I hope to update it with much more technical detail of some these cases that I have assisted on. Of course, all information will be kept confidential, but the generalities of the cases will be discussed.

In addition, I hope to highlight some the speaking engagements that I have around the country to give the readers an idea of what problems are facing the various communities that we live in.

In the menatime, thank you very much for visiting and please do not hesitate to leave you comments.

All the best,

Philip Rosenthal
