ONLINE SAFETY.

With this generation of kids being the first to grow up not knowing a world without Social Media, it is easy for them to be complacent about the dangers of online predators they could encounter.

For parents it is daunting and an almost impossible feat to keep up with the latest apps and how they work. For any queries on any apps, parents can contact us anytime with questions via our website or Facebook page.

The below tips are what we encourage parents to share with their children. By following the guide below, this will minimize the risk of your child encountering a predator online.

From our experience we find online groomers in every corner of the globe, in all neighborhoods of all demographics. Be proactive not reactive with your child’s online safety.
