DERRY TOWNSHIP, DAUPHIN COUNTY -
Most children today are more technology savvy then their parents and with technology constantly changing it can be overwhelming to
try and keep children safe on the web. And if you're worried about your children abusing these technologies you're not alone.
" Sites like facebook where children can get to and post pictures and things about their lives and other people can access that info very very easily which they might not realize," says Dr. Deepa Sekhar at Penn State Hershey Medical Center.
The danger is what your children post on the internet today will be with them forever.
A good way to monitor the way your children use technology is to talk openly about the effects social media sites and even texting can have on their lives. Here are some helpful links for parents:
