Did you know that by age two 80-percent of kids now have a digital footprint. Already! Two years old and out there for the world to see – all because of proud innocent parents who are putting their pictures up on places such as Facebook. I heard the other day today’s parents being referred to [...]

I recently read a story about a 16-year-old boy who is pressing charges against his mom (yes, his mom) for snooping on his Facebook page. Huh?
