“There is a syndrome that we call ‘keyboard courage,'” Whitt said. “It’s where individuals sit behind a keyboard and believe they have a protection of anonymity. Everything has a path and we can usually find where it came from. If you wouldn’t say it in person you probably shouldn’t say it on the internet. If it’s also not a picture your parents or grandparents would put on the refrigerator you shouldn’t post it online.”
If your child is on an app like Instagram or Snapchat, make sure you are added as a friend or follower,” Whitt said. “If you’re not, get rid of the device. Also, if you don’t know your child’s password or passcode, get rid of the device. If the child won’t share the password or passcode, get rid of the device. As long as you’re the parent and they live under your roof, you have to understand you are in control. Having a device and access to social media isn’t a right, it’s a privilege.”
