[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh.  I hate hearing this.  I made my son get rid of snap chat.  He had been approached by strangers claiming to be kids at his school a few times. He fell for it. So scary.

He says he is missing out.  He is 13 1/2 as well and I am resisting letting him have it again.

I’m one of the PP and all of this is scary.  But Snapchat isn’t any worse than anything else they are using.  Use this as a learning experience and keep taking to your son.  Talk to him about ways of verifying and not being so trusting.  Hopefully this was a good learning experience for him.  Some of my elderly relatives have been scammed on Facebook, email and even by the traditional landline telephone, so this is not just a Snapchat thing.  Verifying identities of anyone is a good skill to learn early on.  [/quote]

Just make sure you are actually monitoring. Most parents are not and have no idea how to monitor and are well behind their kids on the tech. [/quote]

That brings us back to the original question which is about HOW to monitor it.[/quote]
