Inappropriate Digital Media

Tara Brooks
When my son first received his cell phone, his number used to belong to someone else.  For a while he would receive texts and phone calls for this person.  One of the texts involved profanity.  He was very good and bringing me his phone when a number he didn't recognize popped up.  It provided a good opportunity for me to teach the importance of not giving out personal information through any device.  It was kind of a scary experience for him at first.  I would answer the call or the text and explain the number didn't belong to that person anymore.  I explained to my son this was all the information we needed to tell them.  Finally the wrong numbers stopped.  If they hadn't stopped soon I was going to go request a different number.
