PARENTAL CONTROLS Set up those parental controls on your child’s phone. From setting a timer on social media apps, to blocking certain content. Don’t know how to do it? You can always buy a phone that has the parental controls in place. TALK WITH YOUR CHILDREN Don’t just block the dangers. Talk to your children about the importance of data and what it is. Remind them to never give out personal information such as home address, name of school, phone number, date of birth, social security number, age, etc., to not only strangers but to the general online public. REPORT THE FRAUD Don’t just let it slide by. If you are a victim of fraud or suspect fraud report it. You can report it on the social media app, go to a consumer page, or file a complaint on the Federal Trade Commission’s website here.
