dating apps<\/a> behind your back and talking with (or possibly meeting) people 5 or 10 years older?<\/p>\nGreat parents are often surprised and horrified to discover that their responsible teen is doing just that! Don\u2019t be fooled by appearances and assume your teenager is safe. Follow our steps so you can be sure that you know what type of digital footprint your teen is leaving.<\/p>\n
Cheater Behavior<\/h2>\n
Just as you would be suspicious if your spouse or significant other closed their laptop the moment you walk into a room or never let you use their phone, teenagers are the same. Although every teen values a certain amount of privacy if you notice that your teen seems always to hide their screen where you can\u2019t see it, be suspicious. Don\u2019t give them the opportunity to hide their apps and behavior. When you catch them acting suspicious, ask to see their computer right then and there.<\/p>\n[aesop_image img=”https:\/\/socialcatfish.com\/scamfish\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/My-Post-18.jpg” panorama=”off” imgwidth=”200″ offset=”200″ align=”center” lightbox=”off” captionposition=”left” revealfx=”off” overlay_revealfx=”off”]\n
Username, Name, Phone Number Search<\/h2>\n
Go to Social Catfish<\/a> to conduct a reverse search. Think of your teen\u2019s favorite monikers\/usernames and let Social Catfish perform a fast but complex algorithm based web and social network search. In addition to searching your teen\u2019s favorite usernames, you can search their full name, email, phone number, and image(s).<\/p>\nEven if you feel confident your child isn\u2019t on any dating apps, it is good to know which sites or search engines have their private information accessible! Once you search Social Catfish, confront your teenager with the information you discover. Ask for their phone and devices or log-in details then, before they can hide or delete what they\u2019ve been doing.<\/p>\n
