  • More than half of the 728 parents surveyed thought social media made their children more open-minded.
  • Of the parents surveyed, 71 percent believe that 13 is the right age to let their children use Facebook. Christophersen said that’s usually the right choice.
  • Lynch ruled out Facebook for her children until they hit high school. Internet browsing is restricted to G-rated sites and cut off altogether after 9 p.m. and on Sundays. Cell phones cannot charge overnight in the bedroom. That keeps her children from texting in the middle of the night. “I feel like I’m alone,” she said. “There aren’t many people that have a plan like this in place.”

  • Parents often falsely assume that schools monitor their child’s social media accounts daily. “With nearly 29,000 students,” said Olathe School District spokeswoman Maggie Kolb, “that would be nearly impossible.”
  • Parents have been surprised to learn that school districts are greatly limited in how they can respond to complaints. Often, the offending Tweet or Facebook post happens outside school. The district will get involved if a threat is made that could disrupt or directly impact the school day.
