Online privacy is something we adults think about – or should – because having your identity stolen or having someone spy on you online is not only creepy but can be a nightmare in terms of time and money. But what about our kids? Posts in this blog have covered the various dangers over the years, but a new article on the Common Sense Media site entitled 6 Reasons Why Parents Should Care About Kids and Online Privacy puts the whole picture together of why parents need to be proactive when it comes to kids and online privacy. From remembering that hackers specifically target kids because they offer clean credit histories and unused Social Security numbers to the fact that your kid could get physically hurt when their real time location gets shared with the wrong people, it is important not to get complacent when it comes to kids and online privacy.
