Carol Todd had detailed the story of Amanda. I feel so sad for the young girl. She was beautiful; she dreamed to become a superstar. Unfortunately, the little angel had gone forever. That makes me feel that we should take the issue more seriously. We should teach children how to protect themselves online right way! Children were given cell phones, ipads, laptops, and other technological devices before they really know how to use them appropriately. Some people may think children are young, they don’t know much about Internet. However, the danger is that young people don’t know much about Internet. For example, most children are on Facebook, they share almost everything on line to their followers. Do they know everything they share online would leave footprints? Kids will go and grab apps from anywhere; there may “bad” things in those apps. There are bunch of ads on website pages, kids would click on them just because curiosity. Kids go into the world of Internet before they knew the rules. They need to know the rules; we have to teach them those tools and devices. They should know how to protect themselves online. Here is a video we can share to young children: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgCNGvL0g1g
