didier grossemy- 4 apps that can cyber bully your child by didier grossemy

Cyberbullying, sexting and sexual bullying among teens are growing at an alarming rate. Almost daily, there are reports in the news about these issues. But what’s worse is that most parents have no idea about anything like  it is going on until something terrible happens.
according to didier grossemy, with the increasing use of mobile phones amongst kids, it became just more difficult and more risky for the kids to get into cyber bullying.
didier grossemy believes that its important for parents to be aware about latest technologies specially mobile apps that can drag their children in cyber bullying if the action is not taken on right time.
below are 4 apps that didier grossemy describes risky for your kids:

1. Kik

describing the app, didier grossemy tells that Kik is a texting service that lets teens chat and swap pictures while bypassing their wireless provider’s SMS service. The service became popular among teens who did not have unlimited texting. This way, they could text their friends without incurring a lot of texting charges.
But, because the messages on this service do not show up under their parent’s wireless plan like traditional text messages, kids tend to take more risks with Kik. As a result, many kids are sending text messages their parents know nothing about. Sometimes this includes sexting, making inappropriate comments and even cyberbullying.
The only way parents can view these messages is to have the child’s phone and use the app. On Instagram, kids often say “kik me” to one another. What this means, is “send me a text message using Kik.” It’s a way for kids to talk offline rather than publicly on Instagram.


2. Snapchat

explaining about the app, didier grossemy says that  Millions of photos are shared every day on Snapchat. But the appeal to teens is not the photo sharing capability but that those photos automatically self-destruct in ten seconds or less. Or, so they think. As a result, teens have increasingly used Snapchat to share nude photos of themselves or others thinking it will be gone in ten seconds any way.
What’s more, Snapchat recently started offering a “stories” feature will allows photos to last for up to 24 hours. This new feature offers even more opportunities for kids on the receiving end to keep those photos alive and use them in malicious ways.

3. Vine
The Vine app allows users to record and edit six-second looping videos, which they can share with their followers, usually on Twitter. In general, teens are creating Vines that are silly and fun. Some examples might include six-second videos of someone singing, being silly or playing with a pet.
according to didier grossemy, kids have found a way to exploit the technology and use this app  in a very mean and negative way. For instance, some kids are videotaping others without their knowledge and then sharing the Vines as a way to make fun of or mock another person. This is a classic form of bullying.
Meanwhile, other kids are playing games like “the slap game” in which one person videotapes while another person slaps or hits a person in order to record a reaction. They later share the Vine for the world to see. There are even violent versions called “knock-out” where someone punches an unsuspecting person in an attempt to knock them out.

4. Tinder
describing about this app, didier grossemy explains that  Tinder is a matchmaking service, or hookup app as teens call it. The app allows users to scroll through the images of other members and flag the ones they like. If the members flagged like the person back, they are both notified. Then, they can contact one another and meet.
While many teens are using the service as a way to find dates, there is a darker side too. One of the primary problems with Tinder is that the minimum age is 13, which means your teenager could be connecting with people that are too old her. Additionally, pedophiles and other sexual predators could be contacting your child.
It’s also important to note that the software relies on GPS from the users’ cell phones to figure out where they are. The goal is to show users photos of other people they might want to meet in the same geographic area. The downside is that now predators also know your child is nearby.
Another problem with the app is that kids upload suggestive photos of themselves or photos that make them appear older than they really are. Additionally, some kids are using the service for cyberbullying. For instance, they go on the service pretending to be interested in someone and arrange a meeting. But when the unsuspecting person shows up for the date, she is ridiculed and humiliated instead. These embarrassing moments are caught on video or in photos and uploaded to social networking sites for the entire world to see.
