But it is highly unlikely that Talking Tom or any Outfit7 apps are fronts for pedophilia - or have been hacked.<br> <br> However, the Internet is still a highly unsavory place. And there are predators out there who want to hurt your child.<br> <br> Don't let them. In every article titled some variation of "How to Keep Your Kids Safe Online...", <strong>have open communication</strong> is almost always first. If your kids are going to be on the web, you need to tell them bad things can happen there.<br> <br> Most importantly, make sure your child knows that if something bad does happen to them on the Internet, they can and should tell you about it. Even if it happened when they were somewhere they weren't supposed to be.<br> <br> Be safe out there friends. The Internet is a wonderful tool (it's how you get your favorite Annapolis email), but it certainly has some dark corners. </td> </tr> </tbody></table>   </td> </tr> </tbody> </table><table border="0"
