We are pleased to announce Action Alert as a sponsor of Facecrooks.

In the past few years, the internet has been growing increasingly social.  Five years ago, a parent’s biggest concern about their kids using the Internet was probably related to them being exposed to adult websites.  The popularity of sites such as Facebook, particularly with kids and teens, has become a growing concern for parents…as it should be.  It’s no longer just about what kids may be seeing to online, but more about what they are showing the rest of the world about themselves.

Internet safety can no longer focus solely on blocking inappropriate content.

Many parents believe simply ‘friending’ children is enough to monitor for potential threats or inappropriate activities, but children can use privacy settings to allow parents to see only particular things or create alternate user accounts that their parents may not be aware of.

Action Alert will notify parents if their kids do things like give out personal information online, or are involved in dialogue that might be a sign of a cyber bullying incident or worse.
