After battling a Facebook hacker for weeks, I am tempted to deactivate my account. As a FB newbie, I've enjoyed connecting with old friends and people who had not yet discovered Family Manager Coaching and resources. But getting hacked again and again (latest hack today) by someone who uses my FB persona to send out video links to pornography is beyond frustrating.
       This horrific experience launched me into research mode about Internet safety and the dangers of Internet pornography and predators. MOMS . . .  YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS!

• 9 out of 10 children have been accidentally exposed to online pornography (i.e. my FB experience)
