Parents should activate privacy settings on the computer for restricted access and posting on your child’s website. They should check with the individual social networking site. Explain to your child what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.
The child should be informed that when they post information online for everyone to see, that it can’t be retracted. Even if it’s not true, the information can be passed around and of course, people will form their own opinions about it.
There are other things that parents need to talk with their child regarding online safety. In addition to warning them about predators and talking about sexually explicit content online, they should also talk to their child about bullying.
Bullying can be festered in different formats online. Other children will spread nasty rumors or send messages to scare the child. They should not want to be an instigator as well as a victim. If this is not handled quickly and properly, the consequences can be devastating for the person being bullied.
If the child has any inkling that something is not right, they need to advise the parents as soon as possible. Anything that is out of place can be reported to local authorities. They will determine if it’s something the parents can do or if it’s something that needs to be bound over to them.
Parents need to make sure they understand the privacy policies of the websites your child is visiting. It should explain in detail what the website will do with the child’s submitted information. Parents have the right to know they can review the information and have it removed it if they choose to.
