Thanks Bethany! Not rude at all. You sound like a great kid with a good sense of safety. But…we still have to be the parents, and look out for some kids who don’t have the boundaries you do.

Thanks for the great work. The shows were dealing with GPS spoofing and I included a reference to this article so parents could be informed.

It can be so easy to just turn your eyes and cross your fingers that everything your child is seeing is appropriate but the right thing to do is to be aware and to help educate our children on the risks these apps may bring. Thank you for all of this very helpful information!
