HOW PREDATORS TARGET OUR CHILDREN ONLINE AND WHAT WE CAN DO

 By Casey Jones, Outreach Manager, National Center for Missing and Exploited Children

Kids growing up today have so many new risks to contend with online--sexting, sextortion, cyberbullying, online solicitations, and inappropriate images to name a few. Using examples and strategies from NetSmartz, we will empower parents, guardians, and communities to be more comfortable developing age-appropriate open

communication with their children about online safety. These bite-size strategies will equip parents with teachable moments in their daily lives to build critical thinking and decision-making skills in their children.
