[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m in law enforcement. No Snapchat, ever. In addition to all the dangers already mentioned, kids use it to buy drugs that are shipped directly to their house, anywhere in the country. I guarantee you all of these kids were “good kids” and their parents never thought they would get into any trouble. Any parent who lets their kids use Snapchat has their head in the sand.

How about let's teach our kids not to use nor buy drugs? Let's be real. If a kid wants to buy or sell drugs, they don't need Snapchat. There are other channels for that. [/quote]

How about both? Do you think the parents of kids who have died from overdoses never told their kids not to do drugs? Head in the sand. You just want to believe you are a superior parent and it would never happen to you. [/quote]

Ok well then let's not send them to school and let's not let them go to parties or go to the mall because this stuff can literally happen at these places and more.[/quote]

Ok well then let’s just not make our kids wear seat belts and let them carry around loaded guns because we always trust them to make the right decision. See how that works.

Bottom line is that any advantage to using Snapchat (arguably being in the “in” crowd? Still haven’t seen any parents so why they think snap is good for their kids…) is far outweighed by the risks. [/quote]

Kids should learn how to safely handle firearms to prevent accidents. Just look at how many accidental shootings police make because they aren't familiar with firearms, yet they are more familiar than the average teen. 
Seat belts should be a personal choice. Their body, their rules. [/quote]

lol you don’t think kids should be required to wear seatbelts and you think that police get in “accidental shootings” because they don’t know to handle firearms? Sounds like Darwin is going to take care of you. Yep, these are the morons who let their kids have Snapchat.[/quote]
