What Parents Need to Know
About Bolt
Parents need to know that this long-standing social networking site contains profanity, lewd and rude comments, and suggestive photos and videos, including a lot of featured content about "hot girls." There's prominent advertising throughout the site, including ads that are mixed in with content, such as videos promoting other Web sites. Teens can create profiles with photos and post information about themselves. Privacy settings allow users to restrict access to their profiles.
