Being a kid these days is hard and adds to the curiosities of the cyber world and it can be both an entertaining and scary place to visit. This presentation will look at the many common applications that tweens/teens are visiting and using. While many of these applications are fun and interesting some kids are using these applications for cyberbullying, sexting, and other things. Predators are also using these applications to connect with your child.
