Stay Safe:
Wiredsafety.org suggests that parents explain to their kids that videos posted online do have potential problems associated with them. It coud give an online predator information that could lead to the predator finding their kids online. Certain videos perhaps posted as being "funny" could be used later on for blackmail purposes and there can be legal problems if the videos being posted violate copyright law. Work with your kids, teach them what is appropriate and what is inappropriate activity online. Set down rules, and enforce them.
