Google+ announced that they are now allowing 13 yr olds to register for their social network. The reality is, many kids are getting accounts by saying they are older anyway. What this does mean is that parents need to be more vigilant about their child's online activities. Google+ allows the account holder to create "circles". These circles are a great tool to limit what your friends can see. By placing your friends in circles you can control what they can see of your postings. You can create as many circles as you like. Typically, you would create one for family, work associates, school friends, etc. As a parent, you need to set the rules that you will be a member of all of their circles. If you are only in your child's family circle you cannot see what is going on in their other circles. If your kids are using Google+ take a look at how it works, make sure you can see what is happening in their world.
