CIGAR 170 REVERE ST., REVERE (781) 289-4959 Chris 2023 dia is full of adorable back-toschool photos. Often, these pictures feature a child holding a “first day of school” sign with basic information, such as their name and grade. But before you jump on the trend and snap a similar picture of your little one, read these tips from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and be cautious about what you share. Back-to-school photo tips • Avoid sharing personal details about your child. Back-toschool photos often involve kids holding a board with their full name, age, height and other details. Scammers or predators could use this information to commit identity theft or earn your child’s trust. • Leave off information about kids’ schools. Even sharing the name of your child’s school, teacher or grade level SOUNDS | FROM PAGE 5 And then we have local businesswoman, Reading, Mass., resident and head mayor hater Sandy Juliano, who could be seen sitting at the feet of her beloved supt. as she shouted into the bullhorn outside City Hall calling for all the racists to resign as a large number of high school students just dropped their signs and walked away thanks to their early release. Must have been a field trip on self-serving propaganda. Funny how so many of the signs the students were carrying read, “Priya For Everett.” Even before the School Committee decided to give you the boot, you needed to get the kids involved – and The Boston Globe. Pathetic – but I guess if you can’t do the job – then create a diversion. Nothing to see here, parents. There are more bad actors for the good folks of Everett to know – all one has to do could make them a target for unscrupulous people. Not to mention, these details are often used as security questions for banking or credit card accounts. • Double-check your privacy settings. Review your social media account’s privacy settings regularly. Be mindful of who can view your posts. You might want to remove personal information from your account that others can see, such as your telephone number or address. • Watch out for phony friend requests. Don’t accept friend requests from strangers. Also, think twice before you accept a friend request from someone you are already connected with. It could be an impostor trying to access your information and friends list. More back-to-school tips from BBB are at https://www. bbb.org/all/back-to-school is watch with disgust, mind you, the “Public Participation” during the City council and School Committee meetings to see the same bad actors talking trash about their own city – and demanding a return of this phony school supt. who would never have qualified for the position to begin with in any city or town had it not have been for a former School Committee member whose kid needed to stay on the public payroll despite his serious legal issues. And that doesn’t include his two other sons, daughter-in-law, and nephew who are also on the school dept. payroll. Thankfully, the voters kicked him to the curb in the last election. And if they’re still paying attention, they’ll do it again come November when the voters remind Tom Abbruzzese – and the Team Capone circus – that their wretched act has gotten old.
