Has your child/young adult's dependency on social media started concerning you?

2019-02-22T22:10:05-05:00

Over the years, the problem of Internet bullying has almost become pale when close attention is given to the violent aspects of this media. These are some of the terrible life changing Internet scares: catfishing, drug dealer hubs, prostitution connections, pedophiles, fatal attraction dates, identity theives, are just a few concerns we as parents should have. Whether our children are 13 years old or 30 years old, they can be "ghosted" out of our lives. After they reach the age of 18 years old and are considered legally adult, hopefully the parent and child will have good communication and trust between them. But, until then, hopefully we as parents will know what to do concerning our individual minor-aged child. In this age of Internet associations, we all have to be vigiliant.

Thank you for sharing, my friend PO3 Phyllis Maynard for posting this warning for parents.
My youngest son turn 28 next week. They had other challenges growing up. I have educated them on social media. Each has an alias for Facebook which they rarely use . They spend more time on video games with each other :-)
