It feels to us so critical.

We have worked cases in the past where perpetrators have infiltrated school systems through Google Chat.

And are interfacing with teenagers while they're in their classrooms.

What?

And having them go to the bathroom to take nudes and extorting them while they're on school property.

That's crazy.

as you can imagine, it's like, look, you can lock down your home with VPNs and, uh, not let your kids be online past 9 PM.

I mean, there's all these tactics and some of those may be good, but at some point they're going to leave your home and whatever safety you've built there, they, they need to take with them.

They have to have these skills and we as parents and we need to provide these skills, um,

So that to me is kind of at the core of this.

The crime is evolving so fast.

We have to equip ourselves and defend ourselves in a world that is really not safe for children.

It's certainly not safe.

How can we protect them?

We have to equip them.

Yeah, absolutely.

Well, and that, you know, I think that's exactly the point.

The message really isn't you can't have social media.

It's how do you remain safe while on social media?

How do you understand to recognize predatorial behavior?
