15 Dangerous Apps Every Parent Should Know About

The Avon Lake Police want to remind you: When was the last time you checked the apps on your children’s devices?

The police department shared a post from the website ForEveryMom.com that offered a list of 15 dangerous apps that every parent should know about.

ForEveryMom.com says, “It’s safe to say that the advent of the digital age—and specifically the Internet, smartphones and social media—have brought unique and daunting challenges to the current generation of parents.

“As a ‘bonus’ challenge, the technology that helps us parent and also poses danger to our kids’ safety is ever-changing. As soon as you have one dangerous app deleted from a mobile device or have installed safety software on a computer, another scary app or Internet safety issue appears. The best way to face these parenting obstacles is to educate yourself about them, and we’re here to help with that.”
