Growing concerns by parents about teens’ facebook safety has compelled Safetyweb.com, one of the leading web-based internet monitoring service for parents, to develop the new “Find Help” Facebook application.
Find Help is the first tool of its kind connected to the leading safety and crisis support organizations related to cyber bullying, suicide and depression, child exploitation, child abuse, drug abuse, runaways, hate issues, LGBTQ issues, and alcohol abuse. Because it is connected to so many organizations, It is truly the first tool meant to be used directly by teens as a way to quickly report any violations to Facebook officials.
Adding the “find help” Facebook application to a teen’s Facebook profile offers a quick way for teens and their friends to feel safe and know they can get help if a problem occurs on the internet. If a teen comes in contact with inappropriate behavior or content online, such as cyberbullying, a quick click of the “find help” application will provide the most useful phone numbers and links for reporting the incidents.
Along with the tremendous communication benefits, social networking sites also have a wide array of negative aspects and dangers. Cyberbullying and online predators are all too common online, and this application is a step in the right direction to keep kids and teens safe.
To avoid the negative aspects of internet use and increase teen’s safety on Facebook, Safetyweb is very pleased to be introducing this Facebook application for internet safety. In light of the recent high profile cyber bullying cases that have led to tragic events like teen suicides, it is more important than ever to connect your teens with a tool to help them stay safe online.
