Be a Web Safe Kid

With Facebook increasing and enhancing its safety features and other social networking sites quickly following suit, it is not surprising that many a parent is convinced their kids are safer online than they ever were before. If online predators were not evolving alongside the technology designed to keep them away from kids, this might be a true statement, but as it stands, Internet safety software recommendations do not make up for parental supervision.

Next to MySpace, Facebook is one of the most commonly accessed social networking sites. Teens especially seem to love Facebook and all it does and while the site aspires to keep posters and participants safe, there are some fact parents need to know. The new Internet safety policies on Facebook, much like the ones set forth by MySpace as enumerated on the Web Safe Kid website, focus on children over the age of 13.
