SO
SO MANY
SO MANY OF OUR PRE TEENS AND TEENS GOT NEW DEVICES FOR THE HOLIDAYS FROM SMART PHONES TO
TABLETS.
ALL OF THEM HAVE THE ABILITY TO
DOWNLOAD LOAD APPS.
NOW WHILE THE MOST POPULAR APPS
CAN BE FUN AND HELP US STAY
CONNECTED, THEY CAN ALSO BE
USED TO TARGET OUR KIDS NOT
BEING PARANOID.
JUST THE TRUTH.
DR. STEVEN WEBB, A POLICE
OFFICER AND EDUCATOR WROTE IN
EDUCATION IN A VIOLENT WORLD
PRACTICAL GUIDE TO KEEPING OUR
KIDS SAFE AND HE JOINS US NOW.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING
WITH US.
>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME AND
HELPING ME.
>> WELL, MY GOODNESS, YOU'RE
HELPING US.
LET'S FIRST QUICKLY GO THROUGH
THE FIVE APPS THAT WORRY YOU
MOST WHEN IT COMES TO KIDS
ACCESS TO A SNAPCHAT.
WHY IS THIS SO POTENTIALLY
DANGEROUS FOR KIDS?
>> WELL, WHAT IS SO POPULAR IS
IT'S THE FACT THAT KIDS THINK
THAT THEY NEED TO BE ABLE TO
COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER AND
THEN HAVE IT DISAPPEAR WHICH
ALLOWS THEM TO SEND MATERIAL
THAT THEY NORMALLY WOULD NOT
SEND.
>> IT DOESN'T ALWAYS DISAPPEAR.
RIGHT.
PEOPLE CAN TAKE SCREENSHOTS
OF CERTAIN THINGS, RIGHT?
THEY DO.
THEY TAKE SCREENSHOTS AND THEN
THEY OPEN IT ALL OVER THE WEB.
AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM IS KIDS
THINK THAT CAN BE HE'LL
DISAPPEAR FOREVER WHEN IN FACT
IT MAY COME BACK TO HAUNT THEM
FOREVER.
>> ANOTHER APP CALLED YELLOW
THAT'S RELATED TO SNAPCHAT
RIGHT?
>> IT IS.
IT'S A SNAPCHAT AD IN ANYTIME
YOU HEAR OF ANY APP THAT'S AN
ANONYMOUS APP THAT ALLOWS YOU
TO ANONYMOUSLY TALK TO EACH
OTHER.
IT'S BAD.
AND THIS IS A VERY BAD WHAT IT
STANDS FOR.
YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE AND ALLOWS
USERS TO ANONYMOUSLY TALK ABOUT
YOU AND PARTICULARLY YOUR LOOKS
THE WAY YOU DRESS YOUR
RELATIONSHIPS.
IT ALLOWS CYBERBULLYING TO
ABSOLUTELY LATELY BE REMOVED
OUT.
>> NOW EVEN THE SOUND OF IT
MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE DISCORD.
WHAT IS THAT APP AND WHAT'S IT
ALL ABOUT?
WHY SHOULD WE WORRY ABOUT
DISCORD?
THIS IS AN EXTREMELY POPULAR
APP PARTICULARLY WITH GAMERS.
IT WAS DESIGNED FOR GAMERS, ANY
PEDOPHILE, ANY CRIMINAL KNOWS
YOU HAVE TO DEVELOP A
COMMONALITY WITH THE CHILD.
DISCORD STARTS WITH A
COMMONALITY.
IT ALLOWS PEDOPHILES TO HAVE A
COMMON A COMMON GROUND WITH
CHILDREN BECAUSE OF GAMING AND
THEY CAN TALK ABOUT COMMON
AREAS AND THAT'S HOW THEY GAIN
THEIR TRUST AND THAT'S WHY IT'S
SO DANGEROUS.
>> MY GOODNESS, THAT'S A REALLY
GOOD INSIGHT.
TICK TOCK.
THIS IS AN APP THAT SEEMS
HARMLESS.
EVERYONE IS ON TICK TOCK KIDS,
ADULTS, GRANDMAS, GRANDPAS.
SO WHAT WHAT DO WE NEED TO
WORRY ABOUT AND MONITOR WITH
TICK TOCK.
>> WELL IF YOU READ MY BOOK YOU
WOULD KNOW ABOUT THE CYNOSURE
SAID IT'S WHAT I HAVE TERMED
THAT.
>> ALL EYES ON ME EXCEPT THE
TICK TOCK IS ONE OF THE WORST
IF NOT THE WORST APP TO ALLOW
THE CYNOSURE EFFECT TO GROW IN
A CHILD BECAUSE WHAT HAPPENS IS
THAT THEY HAVE AN INSATIABLE
NEED FOR MORE LIKES AND MORE
FOLLOWERS MORE HIP WHEN THEY
DON'T GET IT.
THEY TAKE IT TO ANOTHER LEVEL
AND WE'VE HAD VERY SMALL
CHILDREN WEARING LESS AND LESS
CLOTHES.
AND WHAT HAPPENS IS THESE
PEDOPHILES CAN TALK TO OUR KIDS
DIRECTLY THROUGH THEIR TICK
TOCK APP.
YEAH.
OK.
YEAH. OK.
YEAH. OK. NOW THAT'S THAT'S NOT GOOD.
WHISPER I DON'T EVEN LIKE THE
SOUND OF THIS APP.
IT SOUNDS LIKE IT COULD BE VERY
DANGEROUS FOR KIDS BECAUSE IT'S
ALL ABOUT KEEPING SECRETS
RIGHT.
>> IT'S ALL SECRETS AND KIDS
LOVE THAT.
THEY BELIEVE THAT ADULTS DON'T
UNDERSTAND THEIR WORLD ANYWAY.
THAT'S WHY I WROTE THE BOOK TO
BETTER UNDERSTAND THEIR WORLD.
SO WE CAN GO IN AND PROTECT
THEM WITHIN THEIR CONFINES
OF THEIR ENVIRONMENT.
WHISPERER ALLOWS THEM TO GET
OUT OF THAT ENVIRONMENT.
AND IT ACTUALLY ADVERTISES TELL
YOUR SECRETS MEET NEW PEOPLE.
ANY TIME YOU MEET NEW PEOPLE
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE PEDOPHILES
.
>> IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S SO
MUCH TO TRY TO TAKE A GRASP
OF .
WHAT SHOULD PARENTS DO TO
ENSURE KIDS ARE SAFE ON THE
INTERNET?
>> WELL, THE FIRST THING YOU DO
UNDERSTAND HOW DANGEROUS IT IS.
LOOK AT IT THIS WAY NO
RESPONSIBLE PARENT WOULD DROP
THEIR CHILD OFF AT A MALL IF
THEY KNEW IT WAS FULL
OF PEDOPHILES AND BULLIES AND
MURDERERS.
SO WHY DO WE ALLOW THEM INTO
OUR BEDROOMS WITHOUT KNOWING
WHERE THEY'RE.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE DO WHEN WE
ALLOW KIDS TO GO IN THERE AND
BE QUIET AND JUST AND BE ABLE
TO DOWNLOAD WHATEVER THEY WANT
TO UNDER WRAPS, BE INFORMED
ABOUT THE DANGERS THAT YOU CAN
DO THAT BY SIMPLE OPEN WELL
BESIDES JUST PUTTING THE HAMMER
DOWN.
>> WHAT CAN WE SAY THAT HELPS
THEM MAKE GOOD DECISIONS?
WELL, IT'S ABOUT BUILDING TRUST
BECAUSE THAT'S HOW PEDOPHILES
USE IT TO GET YOUR CHILDREN OUT
OF YOUR HOME.
IT'S ABOUT BUILDING TRUST AND
THEY BUILD TRUST BY JOINING
THEM OUT.
BEAUTIFUL DAY OR SEXY THEY ARE
HOW HOW THEY UNDERSTAND THAT
NOBODY WANTS THEM BUT THEY DO.
THAT'S OUR JOB AS PARENTS TO BE
DISCIPLINARIANS AND I GET IT.
I'M A PARENT OF FOUR CHILDREN.
BUT IT'S ALSO YOUR JOB TO
UNDERSTAND THAT YOU HAVE TO
PROTECT YOUR CHILD BOTH OUTSIDE
IN THAT ENVIRONMENT AND WITHIN
THE HOUSE.
NOW BECAUSE OF SOCIAL MEDIA
THAT JOB NEEDS TO BE TAKEN
SERIOUSLY AND THE ONLY WAY TO
DO THAT IS TO BE AN INFORMED
PARENT.
>> AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY EVEN
ABSENT YOUNG KIDS ARE USING
LIKE ROAD BLOCKS OR MINECRAFT.
THERE ARE CHAT OPTIONS
AVAILABLE.
IS THAT A DANGER AS WELL?
>> IT IS A DANGER BUT IT'S ONE
THAT CAN BE MITIGATED BUT
SIMPLY GOING IN AND PLAYING THE
GAMES WITH YOUR CHILDREN OR OR
DO WHAT I DO AND I MEAN I
TRUDEL MY KIDS ALL THE TIME
WHEN PLAYING GAMES AND I GRAB
THEIR HANDSET HEADSET I PUT IT
ON AND I START TALKING TO THE
PEOPLE WHO DO BECAUSE I WANT TO
KNOW WHO IT IS.
I WANT TO KNOW WHERE THEY'RE AT
.
I WANT TO KNOW IF THEY'RE
ACTUALLY THEY'RE FRIENDS AND
YOU KNOW WHAT?
THEY DON'T LIKE THAT INTRUSION.
THEY DON'T LIKE YOU BE IT IN
THEIR BUSINESS BUT THEY NEED TO
UNDERSTAND AND I THINK MY KIDS
DO.
THAT'S MY JOB AS A DAD.
I AM SO GLAD YOU SAID THAT
BECAUSE I'M NOT GOING TO LIE
AND MIGHT BE ONE OF THE ONLY 41
YEAR OLDS THAT HAS ROBLOX AND
MINECRAFT ON HER PHONE BECAUSE
I AM PLAYING TO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH DR. WEBB.
FOR ALL THIS GREAT INFORMATION.
TELL US AGAIN ABOUT YOUR BOOK.
TELL US THE NAME.
>> IT'S EDUCATION AND ABOUT IT.
AND YOU CAN BE FOUND ON ANY ANY
ONLINE BOOKSTORE IN THE AMAZON.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WE WILL TALK WITH YOU AGAIN
SOON.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
>> ALL RIGHT.
WELL, IF YOU THOUGHT THERE
WOULD BE PEACE IN THE POLITICAL
WORLD AS WE STARTED THE NEW
YEAR HOLD ON TO YOUR SEATS.
>> IT'S STILL A BIT ROCKY.
