What are the Friend Alerts on AOL SafeSocial?
AOL SafeSocial scans your child’s friends on major social networking sites, looking for carefully researched and regularly updated red flags. If we find that an adult or a suspicious person is friends with your child, or if a friend does not have any other friends in common with your child, we send you an alert. You can then use your discretion in taking action or speaking to your child about the friend. Most social networks require you to endlessly click through and review each friend before you can discover who they are. Our gallery shows them to you quickly and links you directly to their pages if you want to know more. AOL SafeSocial’s advanced technology goes further, comparing your child’s friends against over 50 databases to check whether they are who they say they are. Just as you know your child’s friends offline, now you can easily see who your child is friends with online.
