Nonfiction: scary stories about kids of various ages misusing tech and social media.
Hoped this would be more of an advice-giver, rather
than a scary-story collection, but you win some and you lose some. The
subtitle is "Protecting Childhood and Family in the Digital Age" and the
takeaway seems to be that it's pretty darn hard to do unless you are a
Luddite or convert to Amish until your kid is about 30.
There are some bits of advice, but sadly, the
majority of the book really does just cover horrible events where kids
are kids, do something stupid, and the nature of tech and media means
that now they'll never live it down.
Harsh lessons, but no real advice or steps to follow to
mediate or alter the potential. Leaves this on the "interesting but not
really worthwhile" reading list.
