What are the Dangers Associated with Facebook?
Studies have shown that parents are no strangers to the dangers that exist on websites such as Facebook. In fact, an alarming 74% of parents whose kids use Facebook admit to being concerned about their child’s safety. Why, then, are so many parents reluctant to take precautionary measures against the many dangers? The answer is the vast majority of parents know the dangers but feel like their child is responsible enough to let them know when a difficult situation arises. Another answer is that parents often feel that “friending” their children will magically help the dangers disappear. Unfortunately, “friending” only scratches the surface of the parental control needed for children when they use the website. Listed below are a few of the most prevalent dangers that children face when they use Facebook.
