What Social Media are your Kids in to? ? ? ?

A friend on Facebook brought up all these new apps and social media sites where our kids may be hanging out.  I decided to do some research on the subject to see what I could find out.  These are the top apps and such, as a parent you need to be aware of:  Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, Google+, Vine, Wanelo, Kik Messenger, OooVoo, Ask.fm, Yik Yak, WhatsApp, Omegle, Yo, and Whisper.  I knew what Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram were but some of these others I was unaware of.   Tumblr is a cross between a blog and twitter.  Parents need to be aware of this one because porn is very easily found through this app.  Google + came on the scene with circles of friends but, Google tries to keep an eye on the content.   Vine is also one parents should keep an eye on.  According to the article I read it is full of inappropriate videos with sex and drugs.  Wanelo is a shopping site, the only issue I think this site has is that kids have access to clothes that are inappropriate for their age.  Ask.fm  is a really bad app for the kids.  A friend of mine warned me about this one a while back.  Both my friend and the article I read said it is full of cyberbullying and lots of sexual content.  YikYak reveals your location by GPS and is full of cyberbullying and sexual content.  Some schools have banned this app due to its nature.  WhatsApp is for kids over 16 and is a texting app.  Omegle, users get paired with strangers with similar interests.  This one seems to be the most troublesome to me because of the stranger aspect.   There is no registration required with this one either which makes it all the more dangerous.  Whisper is a confessional type app and has lots of sex and encourages "meet ups" between users.
With all of the sex trafficking, drugs, and kids disappearing all around; I think we have to be diligent in our parenting.   Technology is changing everyday and we must keep up with it in order to keep our kids safe.   There are at least two apps that encourage talking with strangers and possible meet ups with strangers, those seem the most dangerous to me.   I am sure most days people think I am to over protective of my kids, I probably am and I really do not care what anyone thinks when it comes to this topic.   As a parent we must protect our kids from things they are not aware.   It is our job to step in and say no sometimes.  We are not parents to be popular, we are parents to raise strong minded adults.
