Cyberbullying

It is important for you to monitor your kids text messages in order to ensure that they are safe from cyberbullying, sexting (sending nude or semi nude photos via texting), peer pressure and even online predators. True, it is now very easy for parents to contact their kids through mobile phones, but all the benefits can be offset by the fact that these phones can be used by shady characters to bully other kids or even older people. Still, there are parents who have apprehensions about monitoring their kids’ calls and messages via mobile phones, the reason for this is that many parents want their kids to have privacy. But the thing is, most kids of today prefer not to tell their parents about what goes on in their school. However, a 10 or even a 15 year old child cannot normally deal with bullying like text threats and peer pressure that can result to sexting.
