RED FLAG APPS

THESE APPS NEED TO GO NOW!

If your child has one of these apps on their phone, delete them immediately. These apps are for adults only and have a high potential for exposure to sexual predators.


Remember, no app is safeguarded from predators and they can gain access to your child from just about any app that is on your child's phone, iPad, computer or gaming device. Treat every app as hostile otherwise it is like leaving your front door wide open and inviting the predator in yourself.
