I try keep an eye on DCs online social media accounts. They are don’t really post much but my issue is that occasionally friends will post a joke, a video or a quote that is inappropriate or bordering offensive and they tag or mention DC and other friends. If I see this we have a chat about the implications of being linked to such posts and I ask them to remove the tag. Their accounts have been changed so that tags have to be manually added. However, if their name is mentioned in a comment under postas far as I am aware only the person that has posted the comment can remove this.
My DCs think that I am being really over the top, apparently I the only parent that does this and the only one checks their DCs social media. I sometimes think that maybe they are right, as the parents of the DCs posting this stuff clearly are either not bothered or don’t check.
AIBU to do this? I just feel like I am fighting a loosing battle as even if my DCs are not posting anything untoward online their friends are tagging them or mentioning them in relation to things that they cannot control. Grrrrrrrrrr
TIA
