This is a good link to send to your
teens. Yes they will roll their eyes at you when you require them to read it
but the constant nagging reminders WILL help protect your teens from the
bad guys (If they do bad things, they are bad guys regardless of their gender)
included in this link is how to best set the security settings for Facebook,
Twitter, and Instagram. G+, Tumblr, Meetme and a new one I just found to be
rising in popularity TikTok, all have security settings that need to be changed
to protect your teen, your family network, your business network and
potentially you, the parent, personal information. We do not recommend Snapchat, because of the
false sense of anonymity young users experience. The false sense of secrecy encourages teens
and young adults to post things in Cyberspace that they would never want to be revealed
to the world.
