What can you do? • As a Parent, be Vigilant. Know what your child is posting, texting, videoing, etc. • At random, ask to see your child’s phone. If they have nothing to hide, they should hand it over freely. • Ask about inappropriate pics/texts/posts that have been going around. Stay abreast of the situation going on in your child's world.
