[0:00] My name is Officer Kellington. I'm the
[0:02] school resource officer here at
[0:03] Lakeville North High School. Today I
[0:05] want to talk to you about some common
[0:07] issues that we see with adolescent tech
[0:10] use or with phone use. Some of these
[0:13] issues include posting inappropriate
[0:16] content online, cyber bullying, sex
[0:19] tortion, and texting. With cyber
[0:22] bullying, it tends to spread quickly in
[0:25] throughout different means of social
[0:26] media online. Different ways that this
[0:29] can be sent via text um posted on
[0:32] different social media platforms can
[0:34] cause damage to students reputations
[0:36] once it is posted and cause emotional
[0:39] distress. With these types of things
[0:41] being posted, there can be school and
[0:43] legal consequences. Cyber bullying can
[0:46] include taking photos of somebody,
[0:49] sending them out, photoshopping photos,
[0:52] and posting them online for others to
[0:53] see to humiliate them or to share to a
[0:57] large group of people in a manner where
[0:58] they did not consent to those photos
[1:00] being disseminated. Another common issue
[1:02] that we see in law enforcement is what
[1:05] we describe as sextortion. In these
[1:08] instances, juveniles may send explicit
[1:11] images of themselves to someone and then
[1:14] they are asked um to send money in order
[1:16] for these photos to not be sent or
[1:18] disseminated to friends or family
[1:20] online. Um these individuals um are
[1:24] people often times that the person
[1:26] doesn't know. With all the different
[1:29] social media sites available online with
[1:31] Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, Tik Tok,
[1:33] a variety of them, you can use a quick
[1:36] ad feature on these social media sites,
[1:38] which allows you to add people that
[1:40] friends of friends maybe have added or
[1:42] are close in proximity to you. Take a
[1:44] close look at these as far as are these
[1:47] friends that you could add truly
[1:48] friends. This is where we see people
[1:50] adding friends that they don't know,
[1:52] which later can lead to them getting
[1:54] taken advantage of by these people that
[1:56] they thought maybe were friends of
[1:58] friends. In fact, they truly don't know
[2:00] at all.
