How to Keep Kids Away from Risky Phone Apps

VCSO

Sheriff Noah Robinson urges parents to learn from the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force

Parents often have questions about which smart phone apps are "bad" or "risky" for children. The Vanderburgh County Sheriff’s Office has answers. WNIN’s John Gibson has more:

Sheriff Noah Robinson says apps change and trend so frequently that focusing on specific apps could cause you to miss risky behavior on other platforms or devices.

The sheriff’s office says all platforms that allow communication between individuals, whether it be social media apps, online games, or virtual reality can pose risks.

Robinson says education is one of the many important initiatives of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
