      Cyber bullying is another important issue in social media because you can't control what is posted on the internet. There is not many laws about this issue and kids are very affected by it because once the bully posts something about you, only they can delete it and chances are they won't.

  • hildren often don’t realize that they cannot “take back” the online text and images they post. They may not know that individuals with access to this information can save and forward these postings to an unlimited number of users. Kids also may not realize the potential ramifications of their online activities. They can face consequences for posting harmful, explicit, dangerous, or demeaning information online, including being humiliated in front of their families and peers, suspended from school, charged criminally, and denied employment or entry into schools.

      Once you post something, it;'s out there for everyone to see. Even if you delete it someone will take a snapshot or save what you posted. There is no going back. You have to accept to the consequences.

  • There was a story in there about a poll that was published online about assassinating President Obama
  • MySpace has become inundated with “profiles” that lead to porn sites
  • your kids have full access to the application content, the graphic, sexually explicit language that I found posted to the application profile and the graphic photos, bordering on pornographic, that I saw on members’ profiles.

  • Facebook does have terms of service that prohibit this type of activity, photos and content, but the problem is that the network is so large it is nearly impossible to police the site.

      They have policies but many people break these rules. There is too many users to filter out every single violation or offense made to a policy. There is over a billion active Facebook accounts! How do they monitor all the accounts? They don't. They can't. So what do you do when your child visits Facebook or Instagram or Twitter and you can't monitor what they say, post or see.
  • While social network sites do have merit, they allow people from all over the world to connect.  Kids can connect with friends and family who live far away.  They can socialize and keep in touch with friends, share pictures, music and videos and play fun games. They can connect with the Smithsonian, National Geographic, Discovery Channel and many other wholesome organizations, businesses and individuals.  They have access to great, educational material.  They can learn, they can grow, they can see parts of the world and other cultures that they may never have a chance to see otherwise.

      Children don't know all the dangers of these websites and all the threats they aere exposed to on the internet. They don't realize when ads are viruses or frauds.

      This is the number while Parental Control isn't used very often, which only means that there is at least double the amount for children who access sites like these without Parental Control.
