Transcript

I won't be doing today. I will not be looking for that Perez Hilton video. No reposts, no reactions. If it pops up on my feed, I am quickly swiping away. And if I had kids on social media, I would be extra careful about what they may come across these next few days because from what the video's traumatic and does not belong on a feed.

Original caption

Sometimes the responsible thing to do online to swipe away, not share and not search for something, just because everyone else is talking about it. And if your kids use social media, this is probably a good time to remind them that if they see something disturbing to swipe away and tell an adult.  #OnlineSafety #InternetSafety #ParentingTips #MediaLiteracy
