Snapchat’s new Snap Map feature raising parent fears

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The latest social media trend involving Snapchat is also raising privacy concerns for parents.

Snap Maps allows friends to find one another through geolocation.

The new feature is becoming a big hit with teenagers, by giving them  another way to use technology to interact with one another. But some  West Michigan parents who come across the feature are shocked by what  they’re seeing.

“My daughter who is 13 years old showed it to me this weekend and I  kind of freaked,” said one parent who wished to remain anonymous. “I was  surprised to see about a dozen of her friends, I could see their picture, their avatar and their exact location.”
