Technology is constantly changingβand so are the apps children and teens use to communicate, meet new people, share photos and videos, and interact online.
The Kenner Police Department is encouraging parents and guardians to stay informed about the apps their children are downloading and using. Some popular apps include features such as private messaging, disappearing content, live video, location sharing, anonymous communication and connections with strangers. Others may even be designed to disguise or hide photos, videos, files or browsing activity.
β οΈ Knowing the app is only the first step.
Parents should regularly talk with their children about online safety, know which apps are installed on their devices, review privacy and location settings, and discuss the dangers of communicating with strangers. Most importantly, keep the conversation open so your child feels comfortable coming to you when something online doesnβt feel right.
You donβt have to know everything about every new appβbut you do need to stay involved.
