Be able to describe in detail:

- What you saw (description of vehicle, license plate, make/model of car, social media account),
- When you saw it (day/time)
- Where did it occur
- Why it’s suspicious
Take Proactive Measures to Protect Children:
- Regularly check the local and federal sex offender registries and alert your children, family and friends of predators nearby. National Sex Offender Public Website: NSOPW.gov
- Download the FBI Child ID App. A free app that allows parents to store updated photos and a physical description of their child and transmit that information to authorities if their child goes missing.
- Frequently check your children's phones, tablets and computers. This should be a priority.
- Download monitoring/parental control apps such as Bark, Net Nanny, Qustodio, and Norton Family Premier to monitor your child's activities, apps and communications on their phones.
- Be open and honest with your children on the dangers of internet use, social media, apps and online video games. Encourage transparent communication; listen to them, and answer their questions thoughtfully. Monitoring your children is not an invasion of their privacy; it’s a non-negotiable safety precaution. It can go from online harassment to your child being harmed or physically taken from you.
If Your Child Has Been a Victim of an Online Predator:
- Cease use of the phone immediately. Turn the phone on airplane mode to prevent removal of data by remote access.
- Secure other electronic devices such as iPads and laptops.
- Report any suspicious social media accounts to the social media platform, as well as to law enforcement.
