the worst uh social media. 00:04:41.120 --> 00:04:49.040 I would think like Instagram and Facebook would be something where people are scrolling all the time and you're getting like messages. 00:04:49.199 --> 00:04:52.560 I that's something that just kind of blows me away. 00:04:52.879 --> 00:04:55.519 But the other if we sorry, go ahead. 00:04:55.839 --> 00:05:10.319 Oh, I think for Snapchat it is um the snaps go away, you know, so they think it's temporary, but I mean it's all logged on a server, like everything you've ever done on Snapchat, every comment, every like, every scroll, it's documented on a server. 00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:13.360 So law enforcement can't go back and find it if they need to. 00:05:13.519 --> 00:05:18.240 Hopefully, it doesn't ever come to that, but like it's there, it's all there, it can all be seen again. 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:28.639 Um, but yeah, I think a lot of people think they can get away with it because it doesn't last forever, so they they kind of feel emboldened to do things that they wouldn't do face to face. 00:05:29.439 --> 00:05:30.240 Okay, okay. 00:05:30.480 --> 00:05:31.839 Wow, that's good to know. 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:50.959 So if we're gonna kind of backtrack a little bit, like especially like talking to the child, like I know I was really um in my child, my children's life, but there was a time, even though I was open-minded and I knew that I told the kids, like, you know, this is could happen, you know, make sure you reach out to me. 00:05:51.199 --> 00:05:59.279 But part of them still was wanting to hold back and not let me know anything because they're scared. 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:19.680 And even though I said, you know, like come to me right away, because then we can fix the problem instead of holding it on and then it's getting too late, and then we can't fix it because you got you've kind of lied and lied and lied, and now it's like I don't know what to do anymore, right? 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:24.240 So that's yeah, that's a very human thing. 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:25.920 I mean, we do that as an adult. 00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.079 Like, I mean, how many times have you messed up at work and you don't immediately go tell your boss, right? 00:06:30.160 --> 00:06:31.839 Yeah, same thing, you know. 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:34.879 It's um that's a it's a very human thing. 00:06:35.199 --> 00:06:47.680 So when you do have the opportunity to talk to them about it, like whether you're sitting in the car, just say, Hey, I just want to remind you, like, if there's something that's going on that you don't know how to deal with it, I'm here for you. 00:06:48.079 --> 00:07:02.160 And and and just keep saying that to eventually they will come around, you know that there will be a moment, it may be after a lot of things have built up, but as soon as they can come to you and talk to you about it, yeah, then that's wonderful. 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:05.839 And that's a moment where you you stop everything

and you help them. 00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:20.240 Um, if you feel like your child is being threatened, if you are the parent, you're the owner of the phone, you have every legal right to search that phone and find out what's going on. 00:07:20.399 --> 00:07:34.720 If you're concerned that your kid is getting bullied to the point that they may take their own life, you absolutely get in there, you look at those messages, um, and you you do have the right to take the phone away as a protective measure. 00:07:34.800 --> 00:07:36.800 That shouldn't be a knee-jerk reaction. 00:07:36.959 --> 00:07:46.160 That should be something you sit down and you talk to your kid and say, Hey, this person is continually, let's say it's just uh a Snapchat account that you don't know who it is. 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:51.439 Yeah, you you you you're not sure who it is, and you're just gonna say, Hey, as your parent, I love you. 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:53.040 We're gonna delete this app. 00:07:53.199 --> 00:08:04.160 I still want you to have your phone, I still want you to be able to talk to me and your friends, but we're gonna block this person, and then we're all because the chances are the person's just gonna create another account and come after your kid again. 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:34.399 Yeah, um, so we're just gonna delete the app, and this is really what's best for you, and make this a slow process that you discuss and that they know and that they're on board with before you ever do it, and just let them know that hey, this is coming from a place of love, you know, like also explain it to your kid, you know, like, hey, if you were to walk down the street every day and you get bit by the same dog in front of the same house every day, I'm gonna come pick you up in the car and bring you home. 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:48.000 You know, I'm not gonna let this continuously happen, and just kind of bring the ridiculous comparison in, maybe laugh about it a little bit, and just be like, oh yeah, of course, I wouldn't want that to happen to me. 00:08:48.159 --> 00:08:51.360 I would want somebody to pick me up in the car and come take me home, that sort of thing. 00:08:51.600 --> 00:09:04.480 So just try to explain it to them, tell them that you're on the same page and um just tell them, like, hey, I see what this is doing to you, and I and this is not what should be happening to you at this point in your life. 00:09:04.639 --> 00:09:08.480 I love you, I'm with you, and we're gonna get through this together. 00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:09.919 Okay, awesome. 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:24.639 So if a kid is being bullied, but they don't really want to say and let the parent know because they're scared that the person has threatened them if you tell your parents, I'm gonna expose this, so they're now very vulnerable, they're scared. 00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.679 Is there signs that parents can look out for? 00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:29.679 Absolutely, great question. 00:09:29.840 --> 00:09:40.159 So um, this happens a lot in extortion, um, where um you know, maybe somebody pretends to be like if you got it, we'll just take it from a teenage boy's point of view. 00:09:40.320 --> 00:10:02.720 You've got a teenage boy, they have Snapchat, and so this person uh pretends to be a girl about their age, and they're sending, you know, all sorts of messages with each other, and then um this predator pretending to be a uh a girl says, Hey, uh send me a picture that is uh explicit, you know, like you know, use your imagination. 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:12.960 And so at that point, the you know the the teenage boy would probably feel compelled to do it, you know, because like, hey, I think this is a person that this is gonna be good. 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:15.919 Um, and so they send the picture, yeah. 00:10:16.240 --> 00:10:34.240 And then all of a sudden, this person that they thought was this other teenage girl that they had a relationship with turns out to be a man in another country and who is saying, I'm going to send this picture to your mom, your dad, your friends, it's gonna be posted all around your school if you don't send me money. 00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:39.679 And so that is gonna have a huge psychological effect on your child. 00:10:39.840 --> 00:10:44.320 They're going to start to act differently, they're gonna be sleeping less. 00:10:44.480 --> 00:10:51.679 Yeah, um, they may be afraid to let go of the phone, like they may actually want to sleep with the phone under their pillow, something like that. 00:10:51.840 --> 00:10:54.399 Um, they're probably not gonna want to eat. 00:10:54.639 --> 00:10:59.679 Um, they're just gonna they're this is gonna consume them in a very negative way. 00:11:00.159 --> 00:11:02.960 And they may try to keep that from you. 00:11:03.039 --> 00:11:05.360 And by the way, this is all typical human behavior. 00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:10.399 This is all something that would happen if even if this were a letter correspondence. 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:12.320 It doesn't necessarily mean that it's the phone. 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.639 This is all typical human behavior. 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:26.879 Um, and since they have this young developing teenage mind, they're gonna want to say, I don't want to bring my parents into this, I'm too embarrassed, or they're gonna want to try to say, Hey, I'm 17 years old, I should be able to figure this out, that sort of thing. 00:11:27.039 --> 00:11:31.679 And they can't, like, you know, even as an adult, this is a really bad situation. 00:11:31.919 --> 00:11:37.279 So you just look for the behaviors uh they're not sleeping, they don't want to let go of their phone, they're not eating. 00:11:37.519 --> 00:11:43.279 Um, they may they just don't experience joy at the same level. 00:11:43.440 --> 00:11:46.320 That one's actually kind of vague because that can happen a lot for a teenager. 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:56.000 But the eating, the sleeping, not wanting to let go of

the phone, and then like so maybe maybe they talk to you about this person, um, and we'll say that the fake account was named Jennifer. 00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.279 They're like, Oh yeah, Jennifer and I were talking or whatever, and all of a sudden they stop talking about that person. 00:12:01.600 --> 00:12:19.200 That's when you need to investigate what's going on because it could be a number of things, um, but those those things all together cluster, those behaviors cluster together can really indicate that something bad has happened and you need to sit down and have a one-on-one with your kid to try to figure out what's going on from a loving point of view. 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:21.440 Okay, that's good to know. 00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:31.840 So the other thing too is like say you're on Snapchat and then or you're on Facebook, whatever, somebody sends you a message and you think, you know what, it's all legit. 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:37.440 I just want to have more friends because you know you're kind of sure by yourself, right? 00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:40.080 Like you think, okay, maybe I'll I can make a friend. 00:12:40.320 --> 00:12:44.799 Is there clues to watch out for, like for making friends online? 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:49.759 Because you don't know until it's too late that you know what, I shouldn't have even added them. 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:50.639 Right. 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:58.879 I would tell your kids, just generally speaking, um, while they're young and they are on social media, you've made that decision as a family. 00:12:59.039 --> 00:13:03.440 Um, don't friend anybody that you don't know in real life. 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:03.759 Okay. 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:09.519 You know, so if it's somebody from school, if it's somebody from church, it's from a sports team, whatever. 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:18.159 Like I have seen this person, I can actually go to this person and have a one-on-one face-to-face conversation with them, then that's the people that I can friend. 00:13:18.320 --> 00:13:25.039 Now, there will be these people who will try to pretend to be somebody who's in your school or have enough friends. 00:13:25.200 --> 00:13:32.799 Um, so a lot of times kids will look at like a profile and be like, oh, well, they're friends with two other people that I know, so this must be legit. 00:13:33.039 --> 00:13:34.639 And so they'll go ahead and add them. 00:13:34.879 --> 00:13:38.480 And even if you add them, that's not terribly a big deal. 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:59.200 It's just when those um, excuse me, when those conversations begin, that's when you kind of need to investigate, check out who they're friends with, where they say they are, do their snaps match people who live in your community in your area and your age, and tell them, like, if something feels off, yeah, just unfriend them. 00:13:59.360 --> 00:14:02.639 That's all you got to do before even things get weird. 00:14:02.879 --> 00:14:28.639 Um, so you can kind of tell bot accounts, um, even though AI is helping uh create more convincing looking accounts because you can generate images, you can uh if there's a language barrier, um, Chat GPT will help kind of bring that together, but you can still tell like this person doesn't quite act like a teenage kid that I know. 00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:31.679 You know, this this this feels kind of weird, this feels off. 00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:35.039 So, yeah, just tell them to follow their intuition. 00:14:35.679 --> 00:15:16.240 Yeah, I know especially with social media, there's a lot of fake accounts where they'll kind of impersonate even like a famous person or a celebrity and pretend, oh yeah, let's reach out to them, and then but it's actually somebody really fake, and being kids not knowing anything, it's kind of hard because I've had this a few years ago where there was a celebrity reaching out, and me being an adult and have my own kids, and I thought, oh wow, like this person's reached out to me because of this, and then my mom's my actually sorry, my daughter, my youngest, she goes, Mom, that's a fake account. 00:15:16.799 --> 00:15:18.080 And I'm going, Really? 00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.320 She goes, Yeah, she goes, Why would they they don't have time for this? 00:15:22.480 --> 00:15:24.080 Why would they be reaching out to you? 00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:25.600 And I thought, you know what? 00:15:26.000 --> 00:15:32.559 That's probably true because they're too busy in their life, they don't have like time, so that's good for you. 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:42.159 Yeah, that is a great deduction on the part of your daughter, like you know, to be able to say, and number one, glad you talk to her about it, glad you listen to her. 00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:45.759 That's that's that's great communication, that's what you're looking for right there. 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.240 Yeah, yeah, that's exactly true. 00:15:48.480 --> 00:16:00.720 Because sometimes kids know these things and they're too scared to let parents know, or even parents make the the mistakes because you're so vulnerable, you got some so much stress on your mind that you can't even think of. 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:01.919 Sure, yeah. 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:11.200 And I hate to say that's a little bit what happens with scammers who try to reach out to like your adult parents, so parents in their 60s, 70s, and 80s, yeah. 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:14.320 Um, and and they try to kind of hijack your brain. 00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:16.080 That's what they are trying to do. 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:25.200 They're trying to get you out of your normal reasoning skills, so that's why having a backup like your daughter there backing you up was awesome, really is. 00:16:25.519 --> 00:16:28.879 Yeah, yeah, that was actually that's just one incident. 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:39.279 And then I had another incident where I had something wrong with my phone, so I reached out to Apple, but it was actually fraudsters, and I had no

idea. 00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:46.399 And they said, Oh, can you go to your local store and grab us um gift cards? 00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.600 And I was like, Why would they want gift cards? 00:16:49.759 --> 00:17:01.039 But me being innocent and naive that I didn't even think of it, and then my kids weren't around, and then so they're like, Oh, can you go?
