Tricia Maciejewski shares her story with Scarlett Lewis about her beautiful son, Levi, and what she has learned through tremendous hardship and gut-wrenching loss. Levi’s death was preventable and the 'evil' is not going to stop so we have to prepare and protect ourselves, and
our children with information, awareness and education so that we are not left vulnerable to the highly sophisticated and wiley snares of those that are ever present and prey on our children online.
