⚠⚠SNAPCHAT WARNING⚠⚠ Snapchat has introduced a new tracker in the update where you can view the exact location of your friends. It can give you the area, town, and street and if you zoom in enough, it shows the house on the street layout. Snapchat has a lot of young users on. If your children are on please check that they have their location set to Ghost mode. That way no one can see where they are. To do this make sure app is the updated version and go to selfie mode on the camera. Then zoom out. It will give you the option of changing to who can see your location. |
Police Message:
We know that many children are using social media when ‘officially’ they are too young to sign up to the sites. Lots of them say that Mums and Dads have signed them up. There’s nothing illegal in that, but please keep in mind that if you sign your 8 year old up to Facebook now saying they are 13, in five years they will appear as an 18 year old on the site.
If an adult tries to groom your then 13 year old via social media, they will be able to argue that they thought they were talking to another adult. Remember to update their details, check their privacy settings, and talk to them about which pictures they use for their profile, so they’re safe online. Thank you.
