“Someone at your school sent you a compliment.” This text message is making its way around many schools right now.
The text message includes a link that leads to an app called Peek: Secret Compliment.
Downloading and accepting app will send all the people in your contacts list the same message from whatever school you type as your school. This multiplies quickly as more kids accept and allow the app into their phone.
Here’s what parents need to know:
• The message may actually name your child’s school.
• The curiosity is the hook. Kids want to know who sent the “compliment.”
• Peek is an anonymous school-based polling/compliment app.
• Kids may be encouraged to provide their school information, access contacts and invite other students.
• There are paid features tied to discovering who selected them.
• Anonymous apps involving classmates can quickly create privacy, bullying and harassment concerns.
And remind them: Just because a text knows the name of your school does NOT mean it came from your school.
Happy Parenting,
