 Tell your child not to respond to rude e-mails, messages, and
comments.
 Save the evidence, such as e-mail and text messages, and take
screenshots of comments and images. Also, take note of the date
and time when the harassment occurs.
 Contact your Internet service provider (ISP) or cell phone provider.
Ask the website administrator or ISP to remove any Web page
created to hurt your child.
 If harassment is via e-mail, social networking sites, IM, and chat
rooms, instruct your child to “block” bullies or delete your child’s
current account and open a new one.
 Check out phone features that may allow the number to be
blocked.
 Make a report to www.cybertipline.com, and if you feel something
illegal has occurred, inform law enforcement

utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=weekly#

 Instagram: edit and share photos and 15-second videos, publicly or private network
of followers.
› Concern: obsession/depression because of ‘likes, photos are public unless
settings adjusted, private messaging capability
 Tumblr: streaming scrapbook of text, photos, and/or videos and audio clips
› Concern: inappropriate materials easily searchable, privacy available but
process is difficult, posts are copied by others and shared to non followers
“reblogging”
 Twitter: is a microblogging site that allows users to post brief, 140-character
messages
› Updates appear immediately.

 Vine: post and watch looping six-second video clips.
› It's full of inappropriate videos. In three minutes of random searching, we
came across a clip full of full-frontal male nudity, a woman in a fishnet shirt
with her breasts exposed, and people blowing marijuana smoke into each
other's mouths. Privacy concerns, followers, private settings.
 Ask.fm: “Be curious with your friends”. Interact in a Q and A format with friends
and anonymous friends.
› Cyberbullying incidents. Very popular in the UK but catching on in the US.
Linked to at least one student death (13 year old girl in FL).
 Musical.ly: Create music videos of yourself and watch others videos
› Adult/inappropriate language, sexual/provocative content. Very popular
with our kids right now.

 Kik Messenger: text for free, fast with no message limits, character limits, or fees.
Because it's an app, the texts won't show up on your kid's phone's messaging
service.
› Concerns: ads and in-app-purchases. Kik specializes in conversations
between brands and users. Linked with OinkText (communicate with strangers),
Kikcommunity where you can submit photos/screenshots of messages that can
display user’s full name
Better choices
 ooVoo :free video, voice, and messaging app. Group chatting capability
› Concerns: Can be distracting (multitasking/addicting) Chat with only
approved contact lists, which can help ease parents' safety concerns.
 WhatsApp lets users send text/audio messages, videos, and photos to one or many
people with no message limits or fees.
› Concerns: It can be pushy. Automatically connects you to all the people in
your address book, encourages others not using it to sign up

 Chatiw: Free chat Now! , you can have live chat and chat with
strangers. text and send pics :) instant messaging and more.
Anonymous, free and requires no registration
› Concerns: See above

 MeetMe Chat and Meet New People," says it all.
› It's an open network. Users can chat with whoever's online, as well as search
locally, opening the door for potential trouble. Lots of details are required.
 Omegle is a chat site (and app) that puts two strangers together in their choice of a
text chat or video chat room
› Users get paired up with strangers. That's the whole premise of the app. And
there's no registration required. Often links to porn sites.
 Skout is a flirting app that allows users to sign up as teens or adults. Gain ‘points’.
› There's no age verification.
 Tinder is a photo and messaging dating app for browsing pictures of potential
matches within a certain-mile radius of the user's location. It's very popular with 20-
somethings as a way to meet new people for casual or long-term relationships.

nearby people, which can be very dangerous.
