Safety Tips:

- Set page to "Private"
- Don't include personal info (that includes last name, town, school, sports teams, where you hang out, etc.)
- Don't include photos
- Only let people be friends if you already know them
- Avoid "in-person" meetings with people you don't already know
- Check comments regularly, and delete inappropriate ones instead of responding to them.
- Don't post something that could embarrass you later.
- Be skeptical
- Report inappropriate behavior


What should a parent do?

- Ask to see your child's profile
- Read the profile, with links to friends and photos, with your child at your side
- If you're skeptical, read it on your own and explore deeper
- Monitor the profile on a regular basis…and look for new ones!
- Keep the kids' computer in a public place (i.e., NOT in their bedroom!)
- Always (try to) stay a step ahead of your kid
- And praise them when they do the right thing!
