It aint the same as you meeting Ramon behind the gym for a bag of shake. They are watching snap stories of 20 somethings fanning 100's, showing their strap(guns), showing their girls next to naked, showing their hot ride and chains, smoking blunts, drinking in the club and then fishing it off with a "see how cool this is.btw, here's my menu, wanna dab?".all they have to do is type "yes". Fortunately for me, these jackass (teen boys), leave shit behind on snapchat and I had access to it. My children, using snap chat, can literally orchestrate drug deals from the kitchen table in seconds between watching youtube videos on how to play call of duty. Its different.and saying its not is naive. Its like saying porn isnt more accessible to these kids.i mean, my dad had playboys, my buddies dad down the street had a hustler in his old army footlocker.same stuff. removing it puts them on a socially void island.believe me, I watched it for 2 months while he was grounded from his phone and its hard to witness them being cut out of their social group Also, I appreciate all comments but if you're gonna tell me to not allow snapchat, dont s the only way the kids are communicating unfortunately. Im going to end this WOT with a request for any diligent parents to post their monitoring solutions. As I said, I bought it, tried it for less than 24 hours and then realized it wasn't the answer. even rooting an iPhone and adding mspy doesn't work.or work well.and on a side note, mspy.once they get your money, good luck getting a refund, they will do anything other than give you your money back. there is nothing out there that can monitor snapchat.i mean nothing. I tried mspy for like 2 hours and realized it ain't the answer. Did he buy and use.yup! Did I catch him.yup! Is he now drug tested minimum once a week.yup! I digress a bit from this to bring up mspy Im my kids case, on his phone he was following like 15 of these guys. You can go 500 miles away on vacation and your child can link up with a drug dealer before the plane lands or you park the car. Any moment your child is not within your sites, they can be buying s that easy. There are people in your community selling drugs and they can and will get to your kids on snapchat. Doesnt matter where you live, how nice it is or how many gates there are. They can get vape, dabs, pills, pot, guns, whatever anyone is selling. as a kid, all you have to do is snap a dealer "soccer practice ends in 10 mins, this is where I am, my moms gonna be 20 mins late, Ill take zannies, lean, cookies and cream and some shatter" its that easy and your kid just bought xanax, codeine, marijuana and another form of smokable THC. Taking these things into consideration, these guys/girls constantly update their stories with a mixture of cars, bling, cash, guns, girls and then all the drugs that they currently have with them and how much it all costs. Another aspect is your snap chat s just like facebook or instagram feed where you just post stuff and everyone that you want to see it will see it. you simply go to the map and it shows you were everyone is. it makes it real easy to see where any of your friends are. One small aspect of snap chat are snap maps. Anyway.if you arent aware, here is how it works.There are literally drug dealers on snapchat.and lots of them. I had no idea.and not to spoil the ending here.but I think we caught this in time. All that being said.there was 1 thing I overlooked.the DRUGS!!! To be honest, I was no angel at 16 and I do realize that kids grow up.16 years old and this is how the teenagers communicate, whats the worse that can happen.Boobs and d1ck pics? My wife and I have always tried to be open, honest, and informative when it comes to discussing sexual relationships but in the end it is up to them to make and be accountable for their decisions. I wasnt super worried about the social aspects of this for my kid as he is smart, does good in school, has lots of extracurriculars, and all in all is pretty well rounded. Chat, send pics and vids, and everything is deleted. We really had no clue just how devious this app was. However, as time moved on and the perception of responsibility and maturity took over, we paid less and less attention to our oldest as our younger 2 boys required more time.Įnter snapchat. Again like many households, it started innocently enough with our first child in middle school with lots of oversight, rules and monitoring. Like many households, my wife and I made the decision to allow our children to have smart phones. Sorry for the three topics in one subject heading, but Im frustrated and needed a place to chat and vent.
