¿Sabía Hable con los adolescentes sobre la publicación de fotos Las fotogra as que compar mos en Instagram y en otras redes sociales pueden revelar mu-cha más información que solo la imagen que queremos que vean nuestros seguidores.

Considere tener un contrato familiar de publicación de imágenes, donde los padres de familia aprueben las fotos antes de que sus hijos puedan publicarlas. Para obtener más información, solicite una copia del ar culo de VIRTUS “Seguridad tecnológi-ca” (Technology Safety) en h ps://lacatholics.org/did-you-know/.
