Technology and Children: 5 Tips For Parents

We understand that during the Stay-in-Place order, it can be difficult to be able to work from home and provide education within the home. Technology has become a major component in both continuing online education while schools are closed and keeping kids entertained while parents work from home. Here are 5 tips for parents to keep in mind to keep your child safe online.

Take It Down

Take It Down is a free service that can help you remove or stop the online sharing of nude, partially nude, or sexually explicit images or videos taken of you when you were under 18 years old. You can remain anonymous while using the service and you won’t have to send your images or videos to anyone. Take It Down will work on public or unencrypted online platforms that have agreed to participate.

Stop Sextortion - Thorn

Thorn’s Stop Sextortion campaign and PSA, narrated by Shay Mitchell, seeks to increase awareness about sextortion, destigmatize the issue, and encourage individuals to reach out for help and support their friends. Learn more at www.stopsextortion.com. Young kids today are experiencing sextortion — the threat to share intimate images to get them to do something — and it can be so isolating and scary that most kids don't say anything to anyone.

We Never Stop

The recent Stay-in-Place order has resulted in a sharp rise in CyberTips generated. We have been working continuously to fight the spread of online child sexual exploitation. Keep making reports to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's CyberTipline.org or call 1-800-THE-LOST (1-800-843-5678). Let's continue working together to make the Internet a safer place.
