Fatal Teen Crashes – The Reality Parents: Protect your teen driver from crashes, the leading killer of teens. Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens, accounting for more than one in three deaths in this age group. Thankfully, teen motor vehicle crashes are preventable, and proven strategies can keep young drivers safer on the road. Know Teen Drivers' Risks Parents are concerned about protecting their teen's health and safety. But not everyone realizes that motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens, claiming the lives of about eight teen a day. In addition, more than 350,000 teens are treated each year in emergency departments for injuries resulting from a crash. Among teen drivers, those at especially high risk of crashing are:
Take Steps for Your Teen Driver's Safety Fortunately, there are proven ways to reduce teen drivers' risk on the roads. Graduated driver licensing (GDL) systems, combined with parental management, can help keep teens safe behind the wheel. If your teen is a beginning driver, keep the following in mind: Proven Steps Save Lives. Practice driving as often as you can with your teen. The more experience he or she has behind the wheel, the safer they'll drive. Make sure your new driver and their passengers always wear seat belts. Prohibit driving when crashes are more likely to occur—at night and when there are other teens in the car, and enforce zero tolerance for alcohol and driving. And be sure to learn and enforce your state's teen driving laws—you can find them on the State-Specific GDL Information page. A Parent-Teen Driving Agreement Sets the Rules of the Road. Discuss your rules of the road with your teen. Talk about why they are important to follow, as well as consequences for breaking them. Believe it or not, your children listen to you, particularly when they know you have their best interests at heart. Reinforce your talks by working with your teen to create a parent-teen driving agreement. Parents Must Lead by Example. Don't wait until your teen is old enough to drive to start modeling good driving behaviors. If you talk on the phone, text, speed, drive without your seat belt, or drive after drinking alcohol so might your teen. Information from CDC Posted Tuesday January 24, 2012
Tip #1: Be Prudent When Posting Images Online But
what exactly is being shared? In
some cases, you might unwittingly be letting others know where you live and work
and your travel patterns and habits. These details can be revealed through bits
of information embedded in images taken with smartphones and some digital
cameras and then shared on public websites. The information, called metadata,
often includes the times, dates, and geographical coordinates (latitude and
longitude) where images are taken. While
the geospatial data can be helpful in myriad web applications that plot image
locations, it also opens a door for criminals, including burglars, stalkers, and
predators. It’s not a stretch to imagine young teens’ images of their
ventures to the mall or beach being culled by web predators and meticulously
plotted on online maps. “It’s
not something we think is happening. We know it’s happening,” said Kevin
Gutfleish, head of the Innocent Images Intelligence Unit in the FBI’s Cyber
Division. The unit provides analysis and assessments of emerging threats for the
operational arm of the Innocent Images National Initiative, which targets child
pornography and sexual predators. “The
way that images are being posted in real time allows others who have access to
see the metadata and see where the photos were taken and reveal their location
at that time,” Gutfleish said. An
intelligence analyst in the FBI Criminal Division’s Crimes Against Children
Unit said these details can reveal a “pattern of life,” particularly when
images posted over time are clustered in geographic locations. “It
doesn’t have to be in real time to be dangerous,” said the analyst.
“Historical data can tell you a lot about individuals’ day-to-day habits and
may indicate where they are most likely to be at a certain time.” Some
popular social media sites automatically scrub metadata from images before they
are published. On the other hand, some leverage the data to display location
information beside the images. An amateur sleuth could easily pinpoint a
location using the available latitude and longitude coordinates. “Even
if they don’t intentionally say where they are, the photos could reveal
that,” Gutfleish said. “And that could present a potential danger.” He
suggests mobile phone users at the very least check the “options” or
“settings” on their phones (and any applicable mobile applications) to see
if they are sharing location information. In many cases, the default setting is
to share location information. “It’s
just a best-practice if you don’t want to give out your location,” Gutfleish
says. “We simply want to make sure people know this is happening
