Do You?, November 13, 2011: "With valuable, potentially life-changing information, Cybertraps for the Young by Frederick Lane should be read by any parent looking to learn more about pitfalls and dangers of the online world.

Well, judging by Frederick S. Lane’s informative and well-written new book, Cybertraps for the Young, the list is almost endless. From identity theft, computer fraud, and hacking to cyberbullying, sexting and child pornography, there are an enormous number of “traps†for our kids to fall into – many of them with extremely serious consequences." -- Read the full review Elizabeth Breau, ForeWord Reviews, August 30, 2011: "Lane provides an invaluable guide for parents concerned about a set of techno-pitfalls unprecedented in human history.

His new book, Cybertraps for the Young, is an eye-opening look at how children across the nation are using new and rapidly-evolving technologies in unforeseen ways. This marvelous book should be required reading for any student, parent, teacher, school board member or administrator struggling to combat the growing problems of cyberbullying, plagiarism/cheating, and sexting." Michael Touchette, Digital Forensics Analyst, Vermont Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force: "Parenting and educating have never been simple responsibilities. Today, parents and educators are challenged further by the rapid advancements in technology. Evolutions in technology have reshaped the landscape of parenting and educating in the 21st century. The risks and rewards of these technologies are demonstrated daily in the media. It is all too often that children are at the center of these stories; the lack of immediate accountability or responsibility has influenced what children will say or do. Parents, despite their technological prowess, must take affirmative steps to adequately provide children with support and monitoring necessary to support healthy, responsible use of these technologies. CyberTraps for the Young is the perfect resource for providing parents and educators with an overview of cyber risks, coupled with mitigation strategies while presenting opportunities to connect and communicate with children."
