TIPS FOR PARENTS

1) Know which codes can bring an immediate threat into your home, to your kids and family. (Example: ASL = Age Sex Location)

2) Sign-up and follow your kids on all of their social media accounts.

3) Subscribe to your kids updates and make sure they aren’t blocking you from seeing everything.

4) Remind your kids to never share location, personal details. Think before you post.
