I wanted to recommend KidRex.org. It’s a kid safe google search that I think would be really helpful to other parents.
Thanks,

This isn’t rocket science but I see it all the time. Parents if you want to see your student bypass many painful moments in adolescence do two things with their phones. First disable the picture mail, sexting has hit every school and every grade. Secondly have the internet completely shut off their cellphones. Not just the subscribed part but also the ability to pick up wi-fi. As a parent I couldnt figure out if they had been spammed with it or been looking at it ,could you? Yes you will not be popular but parenting isn’t about being popular its about adults making the best decisions for their students. You pay the bill so be a part deciding what goes on with the device. We live in a rural town of 4,000 and this problem is rampant.
