Online Safety Starts at Home: Recent documentaries like Bad Influencing: The Dark Side of Kidfluencing and Devil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke have brought national attention to the risks of being chronically online. These documentaries explore the lives of families, including children, who have amassed large social media followings, and raise concerns around consent, exploitation, online predators, and child abuse.
Now more than ever, it’s important for parents, caregivers, and young people to stay informed about safe and responsible internet use.
