Charlie: Mum! That’s my computer!

Mum: I know, I know. Don’t worry, I’m changing your privacy settings.

Charlie: Privacy settings?

Mum: Yes. There are privacy settings on your social networking sites. Your account is totally public at the moment, and you’re logged in!

Charlie: Oh. What are the privacy settings for?

Mum: To make you safe online. You want to be safe, don’t you? And for the right people to see your information, not EVERYONE.

Charlie: Everyone?

Mum: Yes. If you don’t change your privacy settings, when you upload a photo, anyone can see it. It’s important to change them so only your friends can see them. You don’t want everyone to see everything, do you?

Charlie: No! But I can delete things, can’t I?

Mum: Well, you can, but it’s very difficult. Some things stay there forever.

Charlie: That’s really scary, Mum.

Mum: Don’t worry, but you must learn how to stay safe. You mustn’t tell anyone your password!

Charlie: I won’t!

Mum: Crazy Charlie one two one, isn’t it?

Charlie: Mum! Yes, it is. How …

Mum: It’s on your notebook. Right there. On your desk. It isn’t a very secret place, is it?

Charlie: No, it isn’t.
