[quote=Anonymous]Your worry should t be “can be trafficked,” OP. All these apps allow your kid to talk with friends and strangers, and some of them allow or encourage sharing images. We have gone with the approach of not trying to police the apps (because they come and go in popularity and my kid will always be one step ahead of me) but to prepare my kid for a world in which there are good and bad strangers, people sext and share things they shouldn’t, and where people can tease and bully without consequences. That is the world he lives in. I can’t protect him from it. But I can run through scenarios with him, make sure he knows what sort of deep sh!t he can get into with nudes, help him understand that tone doesn’t translate over text, talk through the stories we read about teens and social media. Is this the right course? Who knows. It feels right for now.[/quote]
