The dangers of social media. ( Child predator social experiment)

[fishingsetx]

This needs to be turned into a TV show, its like the opposite of To Catch a Predator.




That was my 1st thought too, I have a 7 yr old son who has his 1st tablet, thankfully he really doesn't even know how to get online yet, but it won't be long. Easily duped as by a fake account posing a girl that wants to meet him.

So.... what is the preventative measure. Obviously talking to your kids about the dangers. But it makes me believe that there is a fundamental need missing in a kid who so desperately wants attention that they would take the risk of meeting a stranger.

Don't be so sure he doesnt! My 3 year old son was checking the radar yesterday when I said it looks like it might rain! He actually brought it over to me and showed me the radar! Before that, he was playing a Legos game we installed on our tablet for him! Time to start installing parental features!

Thanks for posting!!
It broke my heart to see those girls fall for that. I was thinking about my kids the whole time

Technology and spoiled kids are ruining our society. And we are doing it/letting it happen. Make kids work/help out. Respect elders. Bust their *** when needed. To heck with a "time out". Life waaay too easy for KIDS these days. Heck, can't even whoop a child nowadays w/o it going viral and cps called.
When I was a kid.... If I even raised my voice to my parents (ESPECIALLY at my Mother), my Dad would have slapped me outta my chair at the dinner table (back then we all sat down together to eat). And I knew it.
Makes me sick seeing how some kids act these days. They don't have a clue. It's scary.

Parents aren't the only ones that need to see this--they should sit down with their kids and watch it together.

Just another excellent reason to not let your children use social media! And another reason why a child doesn't need a smartphone.

Exactly why I don't let my kid have facebook, Instagram Twitter etc.

She's 12 and hates that all her friends have that crap but I don't care!
