We just received the saddest email from a parent who is afraid to forbid his 14 year old daughter to be on Facebook. The daughter says, “But all the kids are on Facebook!”
The father said that his very tall, 14 year old daughter cries every night because of the bullying attacks on her. His heart is breaking and he is terrified of what this school year will bring for his only daughter!
We have said this over and over again, there is absolutely no reason for a 14 year old to be on Facebook or any social networking site.
Parents, you can’t assume that any filters will protect your children. You must be proactive. You must be involved. You must oversee! Please download our free bullying manual and take the test…how much do you know about your children’s lives when they are not with you?
Talk to your kids and educate them about bullies. It just might save the life of a child…maybe yours! This is serious. This is dangerous and this is not something that will go away.
