The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board recently held a training for law enforcement professionals about how to use social networking sites, like Facebook and MySpace, to track illegal activity including: gang recruitment, underage drinking parties, and cyberbullying.
Some tips discussed in the training that you can implement in your home include:
- Having your family computer in a public/communal space in your home
- Becoming a member of social networking sites your children belong to
- Instead of forbidding the sites, learn to use them together, then youth aren't learning to navigate the site on their own--making them more susceptible to internet predators and scams
