Online Video Sharing Sites
How can I make it safer?
Setting things up…
- Monitor webcam use and any posting or exchanging of pictures online.
Important discussions to have…
- Explain to your child that pictures should not be sent or posted online without parental permission. Once sent, control over what happens to the pictures is lost.
- Reinforce the idea that not everyone is who they say they are online. People can pretend to be older or younger than they actually are.
- Explain to your child that s/he should trust her/his instincts and block or ignore someone if they ask questions online that seem "weird" (i.e. questions about puberty, sex, etc.).
But if you have, for example an account for Youtube can't you delete it before your parents see it?
