Today’s Metro has a story about a Calgary man being arrested on child pornography charges after being tipped off by Facebook. It seems the man was using his facebook and email accounts for child porn over a 6 month period.

A big kudos to facebook for reporting the activity! And it’s awesome that ALERT (Alberta Law Enforcement Response Team) could move on it so quickly.

This is a great example of technology being used for good to catch these people, but it makes the important point that we NEED to be talking to our kids about what is appropriate and inappropriate and even dangerous behaviour online.

Just have a conversation!
