On Facebook, my child’s audience privacy setting is set to
Public
Friends/Friends (+)
Custom
Not sure
Change this immediately! Public means anyone on the Internet can see your child’s profile, information and pictures.
Be very careful with this option. Friends plus allows your friends and friends of those tagged in a post to see information and photos. You don’t have total control over who is seeing information with this option.
Good option! This allows you to specify who is able to view content you share. You can choose to share with networks, friends and friend lists.
Oh no! It’s important to check your child’s privacy settings to make sure it’s not available to anyone on the Internet or even people they may not know.
