Be Sensible, Be Smart, Be Safe!
Social networking sites are a good way to ‘connect’ or ‘meet’ with people but how do we protect ourselves from becoming victims of such cruelty? Simple, be aware and be smart.
Parents have to be aware of what their children are posting up online, just as easy as a child can fool the system, a predator can fool a child with literally anything.
Todays youth is so caught up with the latest trends that their safety is last of their worries therefore parents need to put their foot down and create some kind of boundary. Carefully evaluate who you would like to view your profile, do not post private information such as your address or mobile number and always check your privacy settings for safety reasons.
There is no real way of stopping the abuse online but understanding the technology also helps, but most of all ‘be sensible, be smart and be safe’.
