How To Spot A Predator Online by Dr. Lisa Strohman
With an estimated 950,000 predators that can be online at any given time, shouldn’t you be learning more about how to protect your children?
Historically, predators are typically older males, but in recent years and with the increased access of online platforms, we are starting to see younger and younger men target our children. Predators hang out online the same places teens do — Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, gaming platforms and more.
It can happen to anyone. I talked with a gifted 13-year-old athlete who was being recognized online for their accomplishments, which caught the attention of a verified influencer on Instagram. Naturally, the young teen was excited when they started to receive messages. But, these messages were a conduit to pick up young kids with promises of professional training. It took only a month for the teen to consider running away when his parents said no, thinking they were going to an amazing opportunity. Luckily, the predator was caught before anything happened.
Other kids aren’t so lucky.
