Year 2000 - 2001
In December 1999, the Inter-Ministry Committee on Youth Crime (IMYC)
commissioned TOUCH Community Services to develop the contents of
a manual for parents to address the potential dangers of the Internet.
The manual was a Family Life Education Package on “Parenting
Teenagers in the Internet Age“. TOUCH proposed to complement
the manual and reach out to youths as well, through a parallel programme
of E-mentoring and roadshows for students.
In 2001, TOUCH developed CRUSH, which stands for Cyberspace Risks
and where U Seek Help - a first-of-its-kind collaborative effort
by the schools, community and the Government, to meet real needs
of the schools in helping their students surf safely. Launched in
September 2001, CRUSH received funding from the Media Development
Authority (MDA), Inter-Ministry Committee on Youth Crime and Starhub.
