March 20th, 2010- Re: Parent Presentation
The most moving part of the presentation was when
you showed the videotape of the mom who lost her
daughter to suicide. I applaud your efforts in
saving our kids and helping us as parents!

March 22nd, 2010 - Re: Parent Presentation
I came into this thinking you were going to tell
me where to put the computer in the house and
maybe some software to block bad site etc.
BOY was I wrong! You opened my eyes to the
real risk to my kids and taught me how to
protect them. Thank you from the bottom of
heart! - A thankful parent.

September 9,2010 Re: Internet Monitoring Software
Hi Rich, Thank you for the presententation at
St. Joes School this evening. It was very Informative
I have three children, ages 9,10,13. While we
currently have internet filtering Software for
our household at the router level, I would like to
add the software that you demonstrated. Would you
you recommend the E-blaster internet reporting
and monitoring function? - Rob Jordan

implemented most of your programs and learned some
disturbing things about my high school son... - A

9/30/2010 Dear Mr. Wistocki,I was in last night's
audience for your presentation "Keeping Your Kids Safe"
I learned a lot, perhaps too much: using what you
described as the best, quickest way to find pornography
on a PC, I went onto my 15 year old son's PC and located
all sorts of pictures: pornographic, some of people, most
of the "anime" (Japanese drawings) style, black-and-white
comic strip renditions, all downloaded to his PC.--A thankful Mom!

11/4/2010 Dear Detective Wistocki, I was so happy to have
had you attend the symposium and participate in the forum.
Your insight was incredibly valuable and from what I heard
in conversations following the symposium, attendees felt
the same way. All of the feedback I have received thus far
has been very positive. Many people noted how motivating
the symposium was and how much they learned.
Thank you for sharing your expertise with us!
Best, Katelan Little

2/28/2011 Dear Rich, Thank you for the fine presentation
to our students today. Your message is one they should
hear from their parents and school. I hope in the future
we can contact you for our parents as you have a powerful
message that should be heard. Blessings to you as you
continue to do your work to protect our children, God's
children. Thanks again and we appreciated your presentation!
Sincerely, John Garvey, principal of Saint Mary Immaculate
Parish School.

1/26/2012 Detective Wistocki,
Thank you for your presentation to our parish's Junior High
students! We all learned so much about the dangers of
predators on the Internet and about how to protect ourselves
and our children. The comments I heard from catechists
included things like, I am so glad my daughter heard this
tonight! Many of the students said that they hadn't realized
the kind of trouble they could get into on the Internet.
We all appreciated the safety tips. Thank you for all the
work you do to keep us safe in our on-line world.
Parish School. Therese StahlAssociate Director of
Religious Education St. Petronille Church

2/24/2012 Mr. Wistocki, I attended one of your seminars at Glenbard
South High School and I was very impressed. It has been on
my mind ever since to try to get my girls to understand the
dangers of a student. I'm a single mom and I have tried
over and over to raise my girls to be ladies but yet I
never sheltered them. I tell them the truth and show them
the dangers of....life, but I struggle to get them to
realize things. They are typical teenagers but I feel
like its a losing battle and they are slipping away from
me. I remember you saying to us and them, that the clothes
on their back are ours...the house...the food...everything
we give Them is a gift and should be appreciated and earned.
Well, that's the way that I feel. I preach respect, the risk
of danger, good eating habits, dressing appropriately and
they think I'm being....modest. I was really taken by your
seminar and it's stuck ever since.

4/14/2012 Rich, After your presentation in Naperville, I did
just what you said. We got rid of our childrensÕ ipods, got
each of them a droid, and installed watchdog. We put Eblaster
and Spectorpro on their laptops, and we talked to the three
of them about the dangers of the internet and the laws that
apply to electronic devices and social media.
I feel sorry for all the parents out there who donÕt realize
or fail to recognize their responsibility for monitoring their
children on electronic devices. I am so thankful to you for
changing our lives, for educating us, and for protecting our
kids. Most of all, thank you for making us realize that we
have the right and the obligation to be nosey with our kids.
Now that it is out in the open, my kids have no problem with
it and I think they are even thankful for it. I donÕt think
kids really want to be turned loose with social media. It is
just another area where, deep down, they actually want and
need limits. Most parents are providing no limits.Keep
educating people. Keep doing what you are doing. And thank you!
