Awareness + Parent Involvement = Safer Kids

Children tend to overshare personal details online which makes them a target for online predators. As children go back to school, online predators will look for posts like, “I’m nervous," "I'm excited," "I'm depressed," "I don't want to be here", etc. They will use these emotive posts as a starting point for a conversation--pretending to understand what they are going through.

Parents need to be aware of this so they can help their children. Remember online predators don't look like the creepy guy at the park. Online predators look just like kids that attend your child's school. They have fake profiles with fake pictures.
