Predators on Facebook


Every parent would want that their children become a successful person in life, and for that they want them to not only study well but also spend their free time in healthy activities like, reading, playing sports or making good friends. But modern media and social networks site like Facebook are taking free time – as well as much of the time designated for studies – away from our teenagers.

Facebook Child Safety

Teenagers spend most of their time on internet and mostly of it on social net work site like Facebook.

What is a social networking website like Facebook . These sites provide our youngsters with a platform where they can interact, talk, and spend a lively time with each other – sitting far away from each other using internet and web. Facebook makes available an online complex of friends, who can interact with one another in every possible manner, other than physical means. Social networks also can be considered as a tool of communication, which helps you in developing your communication skills and Public Relation. But these networks are not a very safe place for our children and teens. It has also been time after time cited in lots of magazines so as to social networking communities supply training ground for internet intruder.

These online predators have all the access to information that children post and disclose online to their friends. Predators will tempt children who are keen to talk about their troubles in an online group of people. Hackers and facades seek for children who show signs of this type of behavior. They offer children interest; they demonstrate openness and are awfully sympathetic and quick to respond. In short, such fake friends will try to help children – for the time being – in every possible manner. They will depict that no one else cares about kids more than them, unless and until kids start relying on them and believe whatever predators say.

Now when kids develop a certain level of confidence in minds of children, such frauds start their real creepy work to damage innocent minds of children. These so called friends of kids on internet attempt to fail kids’ self-consciousness by bringing in sexual substance between chat or by delivering them explicit substances. Different predators spend different amount of time on each kid, so parents need to be aware of their children – of considerably lesser age – and their activities over internet. Do not allow them to meet someone who is unknown for them or became a friend not long ago. Because after spending so much time on child, it is a desired result for any predator to convince a child on meeting somewhere.

Not only this, there are other menace aspect coupled with social networks site like Facebook. This permits your youth to be intimidated quite simply by colleagues, fellow citizen kids they know, and kids they do not know. Computer-generated harassment is an enormous topic of concern in most developed countries including U.S., U.K., Canada and most European countries at the moment.

Look at activities of your children closely and if there is a change in them, try to identify it and rectify it. Keep an eye on their cyber activities. They will be most likely to illustrate symbols of despair if they are becoming target of maltreatment or intimidation.

    First of all, I want to say that I agree with the principles you have mentioned. My wife and I have strict rules about our children’s use of Facebook.

    While I appreciate the information provided in your article, I really think you need to focus on becoming a credible source. Your grammar, sentence structure, and redundant words make the article difficult to read and have a tendency to erode the credibility of the article.

    For example, you state, “Now when kids develop a certain level of confidence in minds of children, such frauds start their real creepy work to damage innocent minds of children.”

    I can’t tell if you are saying that frauds develop a certain level of confidence in the minds of children, or if you are saying that children develop a certain level of confidence in their own minds.

    Here is an example of poor grammar, “Teenagers spend most of their time on internet and mostly of it on social net work site like Facebook.”

    Your verb-number agreement doesn’t match, the word network is separated, and the word mostly is out-of-place.

    While agree with the principles you are attempting to convey, you have to understand that mistakes like these have a two-fold effect:

    1. Your article becomes difficult to read because my mind has to compensate for the fact that grammatical rules are being broken.

    2. It causes one to question how accurate the content is. If you are continuously using bad grammar and sentence structure, you cause people to wonder if you even took the time to proof-read your article. If you don’t take the time to proof-read, do you take time to verify your sources of information? Do you take the time to think critically about your conclusions?

    I’m not trying to be rude, I just want to help you be more effective in reaching your audience.

    Sincerely,
    Shane Kahkola

      Shane,

      Thank you for your comments. We are focusing on getting the message out even if it with poor grammar. We appreciate the fact that our volunteers has taken the time to write in their own words.
      Contribution articles are coming from all parts of the world. Not everyone can write with proper grammar. It does not matter if it is written by a grade 3 student or by a professor of English literature. We welcome all to write and contribute to the cause. I encourage you to do the same and become a volunteer.
