That was the message that Detective Sgt. Aimee Moller of the Plymouth Police Department and Grafton County Sheriff Department Detective Eric James, both members of the state Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, gave during a 90-minute presentation to about 30 people, including local educators, at Kennett Middle School on Wednesday evening.
