[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Social Media threat. Cabin John parents to blame. How hard is it to monitor your kids social media?? It’s not. [/quote]
It's very hard to monitor. Your child has AT LEAST one or two accounts that you don't know about. I promise you. The best thing is to not give your child a smartphone. [/quote]

I have a high schooler and in 7th grade he did not have a phone, and was not on social media. Actually, even now, he isn't on social media.

Please don't generalize, PP, it makes you look stupid.[/quote]

Since 13 year-olds can get social media accounts and many lie and say they are 13 and get them younger, I don't know that any parent can be absolutely certain their child doesn't have a secret account. Since MCPS requires work on a computer at home, the kids can get onto social media even if they don't have phones. Since my child frequently has to walk home from school alone, I want her to have a smartphone so I can see where she is and when she gets home. Parents can control the apps on the phone, though.[/quote]

You can set their chromebook up with a family account, and not allow guest sign-on, and limit what they can/cannot view.  This way, even if they have a secret account, they can't log on, at least from the configured chromebook.[/quote]
