#Data — Percentage Of Parents Friends With Their Kids On Facebook

83% of parents are friends with their kids on Facebook

according to Pew Research Center.

Parents seem less likely to follow their teens on Twitter (33%) though, and even less likely to do so on other social media platforms (17%).

That does not mean Mom and Dad are not watching, since 60% of parents say they’ve checked their teenagers’ profile on a social networking site.

Bonus: in this scary social experiment, prankster Coby Persin stresses on the dangers of social media for kids and the importance of education on that very topic.
