I have to agree that there should be a two way conversation on this, however a six year is not going to be able to have that discussion with their parents. Unfortunately by the time a child is old enough to talk to their parents, the internet is flooded with their images. And yes Identity Theft is one thing that can happen.
I know there are courses for Seniors to teach them how to protect themselves and there is a Safe and Secure Online for Children.....seems we are missing a course or two.
While at ArcelorMittal and doing Security Awareness training, we developed (and stole) materials for parents. Things like a cheat sheet of acronyms that kids were using on the internet, an agreement on proper usage of the internet for kids and parents ....it just had points about what kids should and should not do on the internet and funny enough one of the points was posting personal information and pictures.
Call me old fashion, but I know we want to post those great vacation pics where our prodigy have done amazing things (five year old swimming with the pigs or stingrays, etc). but we all need to be cautious.
Question for everyone? Does education help?
