| Re: Reminder about Internet safety! I hope that your post makes being relize how vunerable our children are with the internet. I have teenagers and this is discussed often. I know they really think I am going over board, but I want them to think about it.
The websites like facebook, my space, etc.... are being watched by the law enforecements because they know the sexual preditors are watching. I went to a public meeting regarding this. It was an eye opener for me. The biggest thing was that, it isn't always in just words. If kids post pictures where their friends all have on the school shirts, that narrows it down right there. Sometimes they talk about their parents not getting home until a certain time.....
We just really need to be aware of this stuff. The FBI agent, who conducted the meeting, reminded us....
THE INTERNET SHOULD BE LOOKED AT LIKE A TOOL. WE WOULDN'T GIVE OUR CHILD A KNIFE, UNTIL WE TEACHE THEM HOW TO USE IT SAFELY! |
