Safety Tips to avoid being a Victim of an online predator
- Keep usernames and profiles generic and anonymous. Many provide too much personal information. Ensure all screen names and profiles are non-specific and purposely vague.
- Avoid posting personal photos. Pictures can be altered to embarrass or humiliate. They also provide personal information that can help an Internet predator to pretend to know you, your children, and or their friends.
