Facebook Safety Tips For Parents:
Are you aware of the recent statistics that have emerged from places like the Cyberbullying Research Center?
* At least one in five kids are targets of cyberbullying, which often leaves deep emotional scars.
* One in five teens say they’ve received unwanted sexual solicitations online.
* One in five Facebook users are exposed to malware links in their newsfeed–putting kids in danger of being victims of viruses or account hacking.
Facebook has millions of users and grows every day, connecting all kinds of people all over the world. Unfortunately, some of those people pose a risk to your family.
At the same time, Facebook has become an important social center for kids. It’s a great way for them to stay connected and enhance friendships.
That’s why we’re sharing a number of tips and an excellent tool to help your family outsmart the risks on Facebook.

* Do not enter your address, phone number, or other ways to contact you in your Facebook profile.
* Be choosy about Facebook application permissions — don’t give applications the possibility to access the information of your private friends and even talk to your friends in your name. You can review the apps you have authorized by going to your Facebook “Application Settings.”
* If you don’t know the sender — don’t open it! Booby-trapped attachments are often disguised in clever thank you notes or e-greetings.
* Be suspicious of Facebook messages that request personal information.
* Be careful with messages that look like they are from popular sites. While they may link to a third-party site that makes them look official, they are often created by thieves or scammers.
* Watch for red-flag phrases, like “You have won!” or “Verify your account.” Genuine firms don’t send messages like that.
