[quote=Anonymous]I am honestly tired of the uproar over  "social media". If teens are going to sext message each other then so be it. Why is it that it becomes a big deal. I know it is not "moral" but if a girl wants to send a pic or a guy wants to send one at least leave your face out of it and its no big deal! As for the internet: your children will not be "preyed on" if then give someone their email address. You can give out your name, email, things like that but as long as you dont give out your home address and other addresses (school, church, or city you live in) it is not a problem. Geotagging: just because your child uploaded a pic and it geotagged to say that they are at Tysons mall, a stalker is not going to hunt thru the mall to chase down your kids from a fb geotag. if kids are surfing the internet and happen upon a pornographic site, it seems that as long as they know the difference between porn and real loving sex then they will be okay. If your kid is on skype and some random person adds them (and they somehow accept) that person cannot rape them through the screen. Yes there have been children flashed on video chat, but they will be fine. It is not going to scar them for life. Everyone needs to calm down and let their kids live and LEARN from their mistakes. It is not the media's job to police your kids. Give them a bit of guidance and they will know how to make good choices on their own. And even if they do not (such as send a naked pic) they will know how to do it in such a way that does not incriminate them (leave face out etc) [/quote]
