Kids for Privacy Campaign

PARENTS

GET INVOLVED. HELP STOP CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION.

At Child Rescue Coalition, our mission is to protect children from sexual exploitation. Research shows that by the age of 2, 90 percent of children already have a presence on social media. Unfortunately, child predators not only use the Internet to distribute pornography, but also to stalk children, share info, and trade tips and techniques on how to seduce and lure them into sexual encounters.

Help protect your child’s privacy and ensure their image doesn’t fall into the hands of predators. Before sharing your child’s image on social media, ask yourself:

• Why am I sharing this?
• Would I want someone else to share an image like this of me?
• Would I want this image of my child viewed and downloaded by predators on the Dark Web?
• Is this something I want to be part of my child’s digital life?

Once you’ve posted your child’s photo, you can’t have total control over it, so think twice about sharing something that may seem cute or innocent. Together, we can bring safety to our children and other victims of child sexual abuse around the world.

JOIN THE KIDS FOR PRIVACY CAMPAIGN

Join the privacy campaign and help us get other parents to understand the risks of overexposing their kids’ private moments on social media. During the month of April, we’re taking over all hashtags that overexpose kids using signs reclaiming their rights to privacy online.

Have your child create their own “privacy please” sign and share the picture using one of the hashtags that overexpose kids on social media.
