Frequently asked questions

How much of a concern are online predators in 2025?

The dangers of online predators are growing in the United States. A study found that the US hosts 69% of the world’s online child sexual exploitation material which is a 228% increase from 2021. 1 in 9 girls under the age of 18 will experience sexual abuse or assault at the hands of a predator.

How do predators use the internet to target teens

Thousands of young people each year become victims of human trafficking, and a shocking number of these cases begin with online interactions. Predators use the internet to groom and lure individuals, making false promises or building fake relationships.

What types of suspicious behaviors should kids be aware of?

There are a number of different ways predators seek to take advantage of kids, but first and foremost they build a relationship under false pretenses. After faking a connection they often ramp up their efforts to control victims, isolating them from friends and family and normalizing bad behavior.

How can i better prepare my kids to handle potential online threats?

Social media is part of everyday life for teens—making online safety more important than ever. We don’t want to scare kids. We want to equip them. A private account is one layer of protection, but awareness is their first line of defense.

What is the difference between an online predator and sextorTion?

Online predator: the person and their behavior. Uses manipulation, tactics, luring, and grooming, an individual into their wants and needs.
Sextortion: a specific type of exploitation or crime that can be used against someone, by blackmailing an individual for money or explicit content.
