Classes resume in most Iowa schools in the next week or two, and Iowa parents are being warned to be careful with what they share online about their children. Jim Temmer, with the Better Business Bureau, says those cute social media posts about your kid’s first day in their new grade give away a lot of key details of their lives that could be misused.

That could mean basic identity theft, or even using that information to gain your child’s trust.

Temmer says if you are going to share those pictures on social media, make sure they’re only going out to actual friends.
