Being online as much as I am, including Facebook and Twitter, I have really tried to control our privacy on social media. As it pertains to my kids, I want to protect them as much as possible. I want their identities shielded as much as I can. So, on Twitter, we do not share photos of the boys. And since all of our family and friends are on Facebook, we have changed our privacy settings to help protect our children’s identity and photos.  We only allow our friends to see photos of the boys on Facebook.  And you will only see that we refer to our boys as Baby A and Baby B. We do not use the boys real names.

As we as a society incorporate social media in our lives, the greater the need for privacy on social media channels. Protect yourself and your family online.

Remember, as more and more people use social media tools for good, there are still people out there that are looking to take advantage of others. Take precautions.
