Never before has it been so easy for children to be exploited online. Common Sense Media did a recent survey that shows 54% of children own a smartphone before the age of 11. 84% of teens own a smartphone. With the phones come a host of issues: Ready access to hardcore, violent pornography, secret apps where children are pressured to send explicit photos and videos, cyberbullying, and on the list goes. Not to sound the alarm bells too loudly, but our children truly have become extremely vulnerable.
In this episode, we talk about some of the worst (and most popular) apps that kids can have, and what our solution is to making kids safer in a digital world.
Here's an NPR story on the issue of so many kids accessing technology:
