[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like a lot of parents think they are doing great by not giving their kid a phone, but then give their kid an iPad with group chats. How do we raise the alarm on the group chats? NOTHING good comes out of the group chat. [/quote] Parental control software lets you monitor the group chat. Or just look at it every now and again. Most schools having something like MS Office Suite or Google Education. There are group chats in there. So...they're hard to avoid. I know of someone whose kid was using the chat in The Bible App inappropriately. I'm not saying this stuff is inevitable or that you must give your kid a phone. But I am saying when you do give your kid access to any device - from a school-issued Chromebook to an iPad to an iPhone - be the parent. Install the monitoring software. Look at all apps with any social capability, and that includes Google Docs (typing in a shared Google Doc is a big way kids hide chats).[/quote]
