Please See Detailed Instructions on How to Use Six Popular Video Calling Platforms So You Can Continue to Communicate with Your Children and “See” Them Please see detailed instructions on how to use six popular video calling platforms so you can continue to communicate with your children and “see” them. If your child(ren) prefers to use another platform to video call and you are not sure how to use it, please contact your supervisor directly, however most children will be familiar and willing to use one of the following six platforms. The “legal stuff” with regards to children under the age of 13: • Apple (FaceTime) states that children under 13 cannot create an Apple ID on their own which is required to be able to access the FaceTime application. Parents/Foster Parents/Guardians can set up an Apple ID for children under 13 if using family sharing. Or you can use the parents account, and they can hand the phone/device to the child • Skype states in their guidelines: Skype's websites and software are not intended for or designed to attract users under the age of 13. We encourage parents to be involved in the online activities of their children to make sure that no information is collected from a child without parental permission You can use a parents account to contact the child if under the age of 13 or does not have their own account • National CASA does NOT have an age restriction for use of video technology with children so during this time ALL children should be contacted via video call when possible • Many cell phones allow video calling through the phone app and can be used by children of any age (including under 13) • If you are struggling to find a way to video call with your child(ren) that are under the age of 13, please do NOT have them create user accounts for any video calling platforms/video chat provides, this does not apply with COPPA and industry standards. Also do NOT create an account for them • Do NOT provide any person information about the child(ren) to the video chat provider • Choose technologies that permit use by children under 13 Zoom, Messenger Kids and FaceTime When Video Calling with your child(ren): • Ensure that you are in a private location with no one else around—please make sure your family members are not within earshot • Ensure that the child(ren) are in a private location and safe • Do NOT record the chat (either video or audio) • In the event that there is someone else in the room, present with the child(ren) while they are chatting with you, please do not ask them questions that could put them in a difficult or precarious position (for example, if they have been having difficulties with the foster parent who is within earshot, do not ask them how they are getting along with the foster parent. Instead, ask a general question like, “how are you doing?” or “What have you been doing since school let out?” • Video chatting can be awkward at first. It may be helpful to come up with a list of questions/topics. It may also be helpful to have something to “show” them. For example, if you have a dog or a cat that you have told them about, have the dog or cat on the call with you. FaceTime for iPhones 1. FaceTime only works iPhone or iPad to other apple devices. 2. If you have an iPhone, open the FaceTime app and sign in with your Apple ID (you might already be signed in) 3.

  • How Facebook Beat the Children's Online Privacy Protection
    FINN EGA N-FOR MATTED (DO NOT DELETE) 1/9/2020 4:28 PM HOW FACEBOOK BEAT THE CHILDREN’S ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT: A LOOK INTO THE CONTINUED INEFFECTIVENESS OF COPPA AND HOW TO HOLD SOCIAL MEDIA SITES ACCOUNTABLE IN THE FUTURE Shannon Finnegan* I. INTRODUCTION Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Facebook, Inc.,1 recently made news when he implied he believed a law was not necessary to cover and protect teenagers on social networks. 2 Although Zuckerberg acquiesced that this topic “deserves a lot of discussion,” he was criticized for responding in a manner that many interpreted as too cavalier when acknowledging the sensitive nature of teens’ data.3 Currently, there is only one federal law on the books that addresses children’s privacy online: the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA).4 COPPA does not pertain to teenage users or teenage data, but understanding how Facebook, Inc. has handled COPPA may shed light on Zuckerberg’s seemingly lackadaisical response to the regulation of teen data.5 * J.D. Candidate, 2020, Seton Hall University School of Law; B.A., 2014, Fairfield University. Foremost, thank you, Mom and Dad, for your unconditional love, and continued support and guidance. Sincerest thanks to my faculty advisor, Professor Najarian Peters, Esq., for your unwavering encouragement, belief in me, and sound counsel. I would be remiss not to thank Karen Nachbar, Esq. for first teaching me what COPPA is and supporting my dream to be a fun lawyer just like her; Amy Gopinathan for being my steadfast law school partner; and Matthew Cook for everything else.

    Staying Connected Why you need to stay connected Feeling connected is essential for our physical and mental wellness. Physical distancing during COVID-19 limits all of our social engagements - dinners at Grandma's, nights out with friends, and catching a local concert or sporting event.

While it is more difficult to remain feeling connected to our extended family and friends during this time, it is possible. To make up for these social interactions, it's important to reach out using technology to Social Connection Ideas connect with our family and friends more frequently.

  • A Privacy-Focused Systematic Analysis of Online Status Indicators
    Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies ; 2020 (3):384–403 Camille Cobb*, Lucy Simko, Tadayoshi Kohno, and Alexis Hiniker A Privacy-Focused Systematic Analysis of Online Status Indicators Abstract: Online status indicators (or OSIs, i.e., inter- face elements that communicate whether a user is on- line) can leak potentially sensitive information about users. In this work, we analyze 184 mobile applications to systematically characterize the existing design space of OSIs. We identified 40 apps with OSIs across a vari- ety of genres and conducted a design review of the OSIs in each, examining both Android and iOS versions of these apps. We found that OSI design decisions clus- tered into four major categories, namely: appearance, audience, settings, and fidelity to actual user behavior. Less than half of these apps allow users change the de- Fig. 1. OSIs can contain one or more abstract components: an fault settings for OSIs.

  • CASA Contact During COVID-19
    CASA does not have an age restriction for use of video technology with children. However, the federal Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act sets limits on the use of services like these, along with other Internet sites, by children under the age of 13. • Place the video call with the phone app on the smart phone. These video calls would not trigger the same COPPA issues as using a platform like FaceTime or Skype. • Do not have children under 13 create user accounts (and do not create user accounts for them) with the video chat providers • Do not otherwise provide any personal information about the children to the video chat provider (including through a text chat feature) • Choose technologies that permit use by children under 13 (Zoom, Messenger Kids, and FaceTime permit use, while Skype does not) Phone Calls. When talking to a child on the phone, the volunteer must follow many of the same recommendations as with video chat technology including ensuring you are in a private location with no other people around, that there is no recording taking place, and that no confidential information that would disclose the specifics about a child’s identity or the case should be discussed. ALTERNATIVES TO FACE-TO-FACE MEETINGS Texting: If texting with a child, no confidential information that would disclose specifics about a child’s identity or the case should be discussed. Text conversations should not be deleted until after the case is closed. CASA volunteers should be aware that any messaging, texting, emailing may be discoverable by the court.

  • Apps & Online Platforms
    Apps & Online Platforms Options to Interact with Children & Young Adults Apps and Platforms: A Range of Options CASA of Franklin County understands that 2020 has been a unique challenge and we continue to look for creative ways to interact with our children online. CASA GALs come from different generations, careers, and backgrounds. We know not everyone is a technical wiz and that new online tools can be difficult to learn and use, so CASA created this handy user-guide. Most are entirely free, and others are a monthly subscription. While CASA cannot provide funding for specific apps at this time, we still wanted to include a range of options to show GALs what is possible, as some features in paid apps can be replicated by the GAL in free apps. Notices and Disclaimers: While CASA of Franklin County has created this Apps & Platforms user guide, we are not endorsing or recommending any one program over another: every GAL uses different tools and has different virtual comfort levels. Additionally, CASA of Franklin County, National CASA/GAL Association for Children, Ohio CASA, Franklin County Board of Commissioners, or Franklin County Court of Common Pleas are not proponents of, and do not recommend or endorse these Apps & Platforms. If a GAL wishes to interact with the child(ren) they work with on these platforms, they must first seek the permission of the child(ren)’s custodian and notice to the caregiver. As with all use of personal devices, the GAL remains responsible for ensuring that GAL communications are confidential. GALs may not record virtual interactions with children and must ensure that location and security settings are calculated to maintain confidentiality.
