Be Careful What You Do
Earlier, cereal makerKellogg'sannounced it was dropping its Frosted Flakes endorsement deal with Phelps because of the scandal...
Kellogg's said it would not renew its deal with Phelps when it expires at the end of February. The company would not say how much the contracts were worth, but it was certainly in the seven or eight figures.
NY Daily News

Be Careful What You Say
"Following your comments made on Facebook about your job and the company we feel it is better that, as you are not happy and do not enjoy your workwe end your employment with Ivell Marketing & Logistics with immediate effect.“
From an article in the Telegraph on 15 April 2009

Parents
Set boundaries
Be interested! Ask questions, just like you do with their F2F friends.

Ask to be their ‘friend’ with an understanding
