Are you a parent or youth leader? Have you worried a bit about the safety of social networking, specifically Facebook? If so, I have the resource for you. ConnectSafely and the iKeepSafe Coalition have put together a 32-page guide called, “A Parent’s Guide to Facebook.” Also, there is a link below giving you a quick glance at some security settings you, as a parent, should make sure your children have in place. Facebook and other social networking sites are not horrible, but we do need to be smart when using them. It is crucial that parents take an active role in making sure this happens.

thx:
My youth group’s leaders have set up a FB account where they have friended just about all our members. Great way to see our lives on a day-to-day random basis. x)
I agree. I have set up a FB page for our youth group, and it’s great to keep in contact, share photos/videos, and stay connected through the week!

:D nice post
this i use
Thanks for providing links to the easy to use info for parents. I’m a little concerned about the answer given to this question,
“Education and Work – Generally OK to list your school. Consider not listing employer”.
Later on the list it recommends not listing personal address, city, state, etc. I feel that listing one’s school name is almost as much of a giveaway. Better to leave it blank.
