Alicias Message
Alicia's Message:
I'm Here to Save Your Life

Alicia Kozakiewicz was 13 when she was kidnapped and tortured by a man she'd met on the internet.

After her miraculous rescue by the FBI, Alicia could easily have retreated into a world of depression - experienced by so many other victims.

Instead, she chose to turn her personal tragedy into a personal message for other children, parents and teachers. Now a student at Point Park University, Alicia speaks at schools about online predators and other dangers a child might encounter on the internet. Her unforgettable presentation is in demand by educators throughout the United States and abroad.

This OnQ documentary includes compelling interviews with Alicia, her parents, the investigative/prosecution team, and scenes from Alicia's hard-hitting classroom presentation. It is brought to WQED viewers by OnQ's Emmy-winning team of writer/producer David Solomon, photographer/editor Paul Ruggieri, and narrators Michael Bartley and Tonia Caruso.
