DID YOU KNOW? Pokémon Go stops could lead kids to dangerous places With the popular game Pokémon Go, kids can interact with virtual game components in reallife locations. Some features of the game can present serious dangers for children using the app and interacting with other gamers. “PokéStops” – locations in which players can collect Pokémon – can be anywhere, and recently, one was reported to be at the entrance of a rehabilitation center that housed sex offenders. Parents should be aware of the game’s features and monitor children’s use to ensure that any Pokémon collecting is done safely.

Los padres de familia deben estar conscientes de las características del juego y monitorear el uso por parte de sus hijos para asegurar que cualquier colecta de los Pokémon se haga en forma segura.
