As a parent, do you have any parental controls
on your teen’s social networking account?
Does your teen know what to do if a stranger asks for his/her phone number on their social networking account? Does your teen know he/she can block someone who is consistently harassing him/her?
These are two basic topics that parents need to talk to their teen about before they sign up for a social networking account. In the first place, teens should not be friends with anyone on social networking sites that they don’t know in real life. But by chance they are friends with a stranger, teens need to know; they do not give their phone number or any personal information to strangers and to block the strangers if they start getting harassed.

be whoever they want to satisfy their inclinations of wrongdoing. Our kids need
to be armored with the knowledge of how to defend themselves if and when they
encounter online predators.
