After the attack was uploaded to popular hip hop site World Star Hip Hop, countless memes appeared on Twitter. This memes pokes fun at Chris Brown and Rhianna domestic abuse incident.
The crowd source bullying moved from Twitter to Vine. There were several vines made within hours. Here is one that sets the entire incident to music.
The crowd source bullying continued on Thanksgiving. Sharkeisha’s Twitter Tribe used Thanksgiving hashtags to glorify Sharkeisha’s fight. The Twitter Tribe gave thanks to Sharkeisha as a joke. There are rumors that Sharkeisha’s victim may have committed suicide. The countless submissions of tweets, memes, vines, has the potential of leading the victim to self harm.
Parents have to promote digital citizenship in their household. Young people have to stand up for the victim and denounce this type of behavior on social media sites. Once teens like Sharkeisha realize that this type of behavior is socially unacceptable crowd source bullying will decrease.

Our team needed to find ways around this to deliver fast, streaming video and thus being able to give our users the option of using PS4 for all their Pornhub needs! This wasn’t an easy endeavor, but we put a lot of time into it as we felt it was very important and are proud to support our browser use on the system.
Today the popular streaming site Twitch has come under fire due to people using the Playstation app Playroom and the Playstation eye add on to broadcast sex shows. Game revolution reported a story over the weekend regarding a man that was exposing his wife’s breasts. Through the playroom app, the man lifted up his wife’s shirt several times and eventually stripped her naked while streaming the entire sequence on Twitch. Twitch is currently warning users through social media that all accounts that broadcast non gaming video will be banned and deleted from the service.
Parents must be vigilant in monitoring the Playstation 4 to ensure that their children are not targets of the porn and sex industry. Here are three ways to ensure that your child can’t access porn intentionally or accidentally:
Ban Twitch- Although Twitch is banning users that post non gaming content, parents should still block this service until better filtering software is developed to prevent sex and nudity.
Shut the Eye- Do not purchase the Playstation eye for your child’s Playstation 4. This prevents your child from recording and streaming inappropriate content. If your child already has the eye add on, then ensure that the camera is used in the presence of adults.
Parental control- Sony’s Playstation site has a dedicated page on how to enable parental controls on the Playstation 4. Parents can block the web browser, chat feature, and other features of the console. Parents should set parental controls prior to giving the console to their children.
These three steps will allow your child to enjoy the new console and also give you a peace of mind that porn will not be streaming live in your living room.
]]>There are similar child locators on the market to the Toddler Tag that take the shape of various animals. We wanted to test the Toddler Tag at an outdoor event to determine the effectiveness of the product. The Annual Elijay Apple Festival was our choice of venue. The apple festival was chosen because of the number of attendees and its location in the North GA mountains to test any frequency issues.
Range
We tested the range of the toddler tag with our 5 year old whom the device was placed on her belt. Per the manufacture’s instructions, the alert feature did chirp around 30 feet away. Unlike similar devices, there were no false alarms or chirps with the unit that was supplied by Brickhouse Security. The range was also tested within a house to determine if walls or wifi would cause interference. By walking to a part of the house that was over 30 feet, the alarm went off without any problems.
Alarm
The manufacture states that the alarm can be heard at 56db with the push of the alert button. When our 5 year old had reached 30 feet, we could hear the chirp from the receiver attached to her belt. This is important because their were lots of people and music being played during the festival. The alert is definetly loud enough to alert parents of the location of their child and scare away potential predators. It is important to note that their are competitive products that claim their alert being from 80-90db.
Wearability
They key to child locators is whether or not the child will wear the device or take it off. Originally, I was of the opinion that the Toddler Tag was at a competitive disadvantage because the device is not molded into a cute teddy bear or bug. After using the product, I think that the Toddler Tag may be at an advantage. Most kids will not see this device as a toy therefore they will be less incline to take it off and play with it. Kids will treat the Toddler tag as a device that is placed on them by their parents.
The Toddler Tag can be placed on a shoe, belt, or placed in a book bag. Due to the size of the Toddler Tag, we recommend that the Tag be placed on a belt. It may be a litle too big for a toddler’s shoe. Belle is a picture of the device on my 5 year old.
Durability
The Toddler Tag is made of hard plastic that is not easy to damage or take apart. Brickhouse earns marks by creating a product that toddlers will not be able to destroy. The Toddler Tag is also water resistant in case you are caught out in the rain or the little one jumps in a puddle. Additionally, there are no small pieces which prevents any choking.
The Toddler Tag is perfect for toddlers due to its durability. Our test at the Apple Festival proved that the alarm works in a busy and noisy environment. Test of the range was flawless without any false alarms. Spy parent recommends this product for toddlers.
]]>Real Strike is an IOS game that utilizes the mobile phone to create a virtual shoot out. The app superimposes big guns over the camera’s live feed to give the real life feel of shooting someone. Check out the video below:
The report is he conducted the virtual massacre in response to school bullying. The teen uploaded the shooting video to Youtibe which alarmed parents. They later called law enforcement to report the issue.
The problem with augmented apps is the line between reality and fantasy. Parents make sure to add augmented shooting apps to your list of apps to monitor
]]>Social media has intensified sibling bullying through apps such as Vine and Instagram. Videotaping 6 seconds of abuse is enough to solicit laughs and entertainment. Young people are using these apps to create instant America Most Funniest Videos. Nothing demonstrates this more than the new viral craze “smack cam”. Smack cam is where kids record 6 second videos of them slapping another youth or sibling in the face.
Parents need to step up and put an end to sibling bullying. There has to be a change in mindset that sibling bullying is not a right of passage.
1. Label it as bullying- Parents have to identify this behavior as bullying. Let your kids know that bullying will not be allowed in the house
2.Consequence the behavior-Take away the car keys, cell phones, tv, etc to send a message.
3. Get help- If con-sequencing does not work then you need to seek professional help. The perpetrator may be dealing with emotional and mental health issues that need to be addressed.
]]>Normally the body gets rid of alcohol through vomiting when the user drinks too much. Consuming alcohol through inhaling vapors prevents the brain from releasing excess alcohol which is very dangerous. According to medical experts, smoking alcohol can lead to alcohol poisoning and death. There are also indications that smoking alcohol can damage your lungs.
Vine videos are popping up all over the place showing smoking alcohol is popular at teen parties.
Just roll to parties now and start smoking alcohol everyone's looking at me like tf you doin cuh

smoking alcohol to get drunk is actually a pretty clever idea.. don't get the calories & it might save your liver.
— gabrielle. (@gabbietaughtme) July 21, 2013
The issue for parents is that teens believe that smoking alcohol is a covert way of getting drunk without smelling like alcohol. Females also view it as a way of getting drunk without gaining calories.
Although alcohol is being consumed by smoke, current detection measures still work. Standard Urine tests
Teens are soaking tampons in alcohol and inserting them in their vagina or rectum in the case of boys. This tactic leads to the alcohol going directly into the blood stream. By using a tampon instead of drinking alcohol, teens can hide the odor from their parents and the police. This new craze increases the risk of teens driving under the influence.
We went to the twitterverse to see what teens are saying on this subject.
@VVElNER I'll just take a tampon soaked in vodka, thanks.

Lets go to Spyparent Tv to take a look at this new craze
]]>Gif Porn has become the most popular way for teens to consume porn. For people who are not familiar with Gifs, Gifs are animated images that loop for a short period of time. Teens are addicted to them because they are extremely private because of the length of the video which last usually no more than 6 seconds. It also makes it very difficult for parents to monitor. It is only displayed on a teen’s mobile device for a short period of time and the images are saved in the cloud. No images or videos on the device to capture.
The Twitter Iphone (iOS) app Vine is the poster child of Gif Porn. Vine,similar to twitter, allows users to send 6 second gifs. Teens have figured out by typing internet lingo such as NSFW or PAWG they have quick access to porn. It is such a huge problem that Vine now requires users to be 17 or above to use the app. They were hit with a Porn Scandal soon after Vine launched in January 2013. The even sadder issue is that Gif Porn has turned into a legitimate business. Sites have popped up that only show x rated GIFs. Teens are making GIFs of other teen for a cheap as 5 bucks for them to distribute over the internet.
As a parent, you may wonder why even bother. If it is only 6 seconds of viewing pleasure, then who cares. We should all care because Gif Porn is not just created by professional porn stars. Majority of Gif Porn are teenagers that are seeking validation from peers of the opposite sex.
Here is how to Stop Porn GIF!
Iexplorer 3- IExplorer three gives you access to your apps temporary files. Sync your child’s iphone or Ipad with Iexplorer and you will have access to all of the app’s temp files. Go into the temp files of an app such as Vine and you will see all of the Vines that were played. You will get a good idea if your teen is downloading Gif Porn.
Let’s get to Monitoring!
]]>“**** a boston bomb wait till u see the **** I do, I’mma be famous rapping, and beat every murder charge that comes across me!”
Anyone versed in Hip Hop understand that even professional rappers reference events for shock value in their rhymes. The latest example was rap star Ricky Ross discussing drugging a young lady and taking her back to his hotel. It is what rappers do! Luckily, the grand jury in Cameron’s town chose chose not to indict him. He was released from jail last week.
This is why you have to monitor your teens. Teens have to be educated that any lyric discussing murder is a felony in most states. Parents please monitor your child’s social media pages so they will not face terrorism charges!
]]>This is major news since Snapchat has become the number one social media outlet for teens. It has outpaced Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Tumbler in popularity. The problem is that the developers intended the app as a sexting app in order to maxemize profits. You can invision them in their dorm rooms thinking of how to make millions by creating a “safe” sexting app.
This vulernability leads to revenge porn. This is the new phenomenon in which couples exchange sexting pics during their relationship. Once the relationship ends, the jilted lover unleashes all of the private sexting photos to embarass and shame the ex partner.
We went into the twitter verse to check out revenge Porn.
