A catfish is someone who pretends to be someone they're not using Facebook or
other social media to create false identities, particularly to pursue
deceptive online romances.
You are as vulnerable as your dumbest friend on Facebook. -Dianne Perukel

•Are the consequences realistic, and will you enforce them?
•Do you have alternative activities for your kids if they lose their “screen time?”
•Contract examples…

Access
•Who controls the wireless/internet access in your home?
•How do teens access the wireless/internet access at school?
•What wireless/internet devices do your teens
•This is a difficult issue to have complete control of, but is only one leg of the three-legged stool.
In conclusion…There is a world out there that we, as parents, need to know
about
It is full of opportunity. Both positive and negative.
Times are NOT the same as they were “back when we were kids.”
Spoken English has essentially become a second language to many teens today
We can help out teens in this brave new world, or Law Enforcement can
There are as many resources to HELP parents as there are for teens to get into trouble on the internet
Google, Urban Dictionaries, and Youtube can be your BFF
You are still the most influential force in your children’s lives
