If you must tell Facebook (and Twitter) that you are not home, tell them there is someone or some animal at home, or someone watching, or… you get the picture.

Today, we’re launching our new Family Safety Center; a one-stop shop about staying safe online. We’ve included advice from leading child safety organizations around the world, tips and ideas from parents here at Google, as well as information on how to use the safety tools and controls built into Google products.
