basic features. The net facilitates widespread
usability and access for users.

maximized these new forms of socialization/interac
tion. - Users of these sites are able to add a wide
variety of items to their personal pages, to
indicate common interests, and to connect with

9Social Networking

11Social Networking
- Why are Social Networking Sites so appealing?
Anonymity
People can be whoever they want to be. Hide Age,
Sex, Location, Picture Job Occupation, Income,
Qualifications Hidden Interests, Hobbies, Life
Events Easier To Make Statements about Oneself
when Not Meeting Face-To-Face. Ever Talk Behind
Someones Back??? Make False Statements On the
Telephone??? The prevalence of cyber bullying.

- internet live and create our own site.)

72Points to think about
- Revealing too much personal information creates
safety concerns, could lead to identity theft
(even just birthdates, address, name) or
stalking. - Role model and reputation People are looking at
each others profiles all the time. - One could be subject to disciplinary or criminal
action The FBI investigated a student for
joining an I hate Bush group. The student asked
others to donate a dollar for the assassination
fund. - Law Enforcement use social network sites in our
investigations. It is perfectly legal for us to
do so as this is all public information.
73Investigative Purposes
Points to think about
- Detect evidence of past and present crimes, or
crimes in progress. - Identify at risk youth.
- Monitor social behavior.
- Conduct counter intelligence.
- Monitor gang and hate group recruiting.
- Monitor your own childrens activity.
- Proactive policing of pedophiles.
74Some of the Dangers
Points to think about
- On line predators - 1 in 5 kids are approached by
a predator (National Center for Missing and
Exploited Children) - False sites, pornography, phishing for personal
info for identity theft. - Gang and hate group recruitment.
- Little supervision.
- Cyber Bullying.
75Points to think about
- Take the time to develop a working knowledge of
these sites - Searches
- Groups
- Friend requests
- Internal email and external comments
76Points to think about
- I encourage you to think of a profile as a
virtual resume.
Social networking users can add a wide variety of
items to their personal pages. They can find
others with common interests. It is also possible
to find a large circle of existing acquaintances,
especially if a site allows users to utilize
their real names.
77In Closing
- I want to leave you with one thought. I would
challenge everyone here to Police All Resources
Effecting our Nations Teens.
Being a good PARENT will let us work together to
impact the negative behaviors that are rapidly
emerging in some of our young adults.
- I want to thank you for you time and attention
today. I would also welcome questions at this
time.
