Google has implemented a new feature which enables you to type a telephone number into the search bar and hit enter and you will be given the person's name and address. If you then hit Map, you will get a map to the person's house! It's a nationwide reverse telephone book.



If a child or adult gives out his/her phone number, someone can now look it up to find out where he/she lives. The safety issues are obvious.



Note that you can have your phone number removed or blocked. I tried my number and it came up along with the mapquest and directions stra ight to our house. I did fill out the removal form for myself, and encourage all of you to do the same.

Simple truth is talk to your children about what not to give away online and also inform them about the need to privacy. OH and btw keep tabs on who they are chatting with and where they go at night.
