Richland Police Offering Class To Teach Parents What Kids Are Doing Online

Since the inception of Social Media there have been inherent dangers to children.The main reason being is that most parents are clueless to all the social media sites and their ability to allow access from total strangers and or predators to your children...

When my daughter was a teen she had a Myspace account and I'll admit I had no idea what it was or how it worked. Today new social sites are popping up besides the ones you know about like Instagram, Facebook,Snapchat, You Tube, Tik Tok,Vine etc....

It's overwhelming even to me a person in media.

Good news for Tri-Cities parents the Richland Police Department is offering a free class to educate you on the dangers of social media and how to protect your kids! The Class is October 10th at the Richland Public Library at 6:30 PM
