MO :: Section 8, Chapter 4 (Child Public Performance and Media Involvement), Subsection 1 – Child Exploitation, Public Performance and Media Involvement :: 4.1.2 Social Media and Children in Custody

 Social Media has created privacy and safety concerns for Foster Care Youth. However, it is seldom realistic to forbid children and youth to use social media. Forbidding social networking may make it harder for youth in foster care to fit in with friends and relate to other teenagers in the community. Resource Parents should provide guidance and boundaries to help youth in their care use social media safely. Resource parents and foster care youth may post photos of the child/youth as long as they do not specifically identify the child/youth as being in foster care. A foster child/youth whose picture has been posted shall not be tagged and should not be identified by name. Identifying information as to the child’s location is also strictly prohibited.
