Your kids could be putting their futures in jeopardy online – and high school and college kids are especially at risk. If they don’t believe you, maybe they’ll take a lawyer’s word for it. Attorney Gloria Alfred has got some free legal advice for them. Don’t vent – a lawyer can use that against you if someone decides you’ve slandered them. If it’s risqué – don’t post it. Consider this; you post a video or picture doing something illegal or unflattering - years later - if you ever have to testify in court, you can be asked about your past. You might forget, or skip that one time - and that post from years ago can ruin your credibility.
Also, remind them that if they violate a social site’s content rules, that Web site can notify local or federal law enforcement agencies about their online activities.
