PARENT ALERT !!!!

Ok parents, here is another new threat to our young children. To tell you the truth, we have had three cases of this in one week. This involved 6-8th graders. In your child’s cell phone we are finding they are hiding sexted images of themselves and others so parents and teachers cannot see them when looking in the camera roll of the cell phone. It is an app that will hide photos and videos. It may look like a safe or a calculator requiring a numerical code. Check you child’s cell phone applications and look for an icon like this. Remember saying to yourself that “My kid would never” is setting yourself up for a huge let down. Better you find it than we find it.
