Dancehall artiste Ninja Man has called on parents to monitor their children's use of smartphones.
The recording artiste said young girls are being lured into traps by men they meet on social media platforms such as Facebook.
"Parents, this is what happening to unno kids. Dem having some Facebook relationships and some a unno low up unno likkle pickney dem with the phone too much and they experience too much things," he said.
Ninja Man said parents should "tek di blasted phones" from their daughters who he argued have failed to recognise that they may be putting themselves in danger by agreeing to meet up with strangers after conversations in cyberspace.
"Stop the dating on Facebook, stop meeting people on Facebook. The Facebook a nuh fi ketch man," Ninja Man said.
"Facebook is what cause many of unno friends to be dying cause unno using the 'Book fi meet people who unno don't know," he said.
The deejay said patents have a duty to not only police their children's use of social media but also to talk to them about possible dangers they may face.
Superintendent Stephanie Lindsay, head of the constabulary's Corporate Communications Unit, says dancehall artiste Alkaline is being asked to report to the police in relation to a murder which took place in Maverley on January 13.
Lindsay says the police had tried to get in touch with the popular artiste personally, but were unsuccessful.
Today, social media accounts for the Jamaica Constabulary Force asked the artiste, whose real name is Earlan Bartley, to report to Harman Barracks in relation to the murder of Rohan Morris.
He was given until 5:00pm tomorrow.

The contempt that many Jamaicans feel about the recent upsurge in the killing of women and children has been documented on social media, with users posting pictures of men they claim are the culprits behind the killings.
But head of the Constabulary Communications Unit, Superintendent Stephanie Lindsay, thinks this could get in the way of police investigations.
"When they keep sharing it on social media, it can compromise the case. So even if the police arrest an individual, it may prevent us convicting some of these individuals," Lindsay told THE STAR.
She said that while the police applaud persons for trying to assist in bringing the culprits to justice, merely putting information on social media is not enough.
"What we prefer is if they have information that could assist the police in their investigations. Then we ask that they make a report to the police," Lindsay said.
Lindsay noted that many of the offences are of a sexual nature, so persons could call the Centre For Investigation of Sexual Offences and Child Abuse (CISOCA) or visit the CISOCA offices across the island.
Meanwhile, psychologist Dr Leahcim Semaj believes persons whose pictures are being circulated on social media could be negatively affected.
"This will not only affect their chance of employment, but it could put their lives at risk because we have retaliation killing, which is a very prominent thing in Jamaica," Semaj said. "It's a court that decides if a man is guilty. We are bypassing all of that now in this era of social media and having trial by social media."
