9. Allows communication over wireless
Communication is not logged like a normal text message
Communication is based off screen names or handles
Strangers can communicate directly with your child
Kik & WhatsAPP
In the past couple of weeks, police have linked the KiK
app to at least five serious crimes involving children in the
past two weeks, including the murder of 13-year-old
Nicole Madison Lovell -- allegedly by two 19-year-old
Virginia Tech students -- and an incident in Alabama
where a man attempted to check a 14-year-old girl out of
school. He was charged with statutory rape and attempted
kidnapping. (ABC 2016)
KIK ANNOUNCED THEY WILL BE SHUTTING DOWN
Over 1,000 Sexual Abuses Cases Reported In The USA & UK

10. ooVoo MobileooVoo is a high-quality video chat application. Think Facetime or Skype. It allows people to
connect with up to 12 friends at one time and video chat or have a voice call. You can download
it on an iPad, iTouch, iPhone, Android phone, etc.
Allows 12 people to talk in a group.
These people can use chat or video to
communicate.
Group Messenger
With over 100 million users, offenders
are taking a strong interest in this social
network.
Child Offenders
Law enforcement have notified
parents in the past not to allow their
children to use this social network

11. Allows communication over wireless
Allows pictures and short videos to be sent over wireless
Messages disappear after a few seconds
Strangers can send pictures and videos directly to your child
SnapChat
Snapchat can be compared to the Wild, Wild West of
the olden days. There are very few rules, no real
way to moderate what is going on, and any evidence
of inappropriate behavior is quickly wiped away. With
no paper trail, and no way to trace what is being sent
across the servers, parents can easily be taken off
guard, and young children who can not yet moderate
their own activity can easily be harmed by use of the
application.

12. Allows communication over wireless
Encrypted chat and self-destructing SMS
Once a message is deleted it’s gone forever
Used by various crime organizations for recruiting

13. Many times pre-teens and teens give away personal information that
should not be shared
All information begins as viewable by the public unless you change the
settings to private.
Make sure your child or teen is not revealing their location on their photos.
You can turn off geo-tagging in the settings under Location Services.
Instagram is another social platform; therefore, your teen can become friends with strangers posing as another
teen.
Instagram

14. Kids who enter an age during registration that's under 13 will be blocked from registering.
Teens 13 and older must enter a first and last name, e-mail, date of birth, gender and zip
code to register. Profiles on the site are very public, unless users opt to make them private;
and the site activities were designed to encourage meeting new people.
Why Is It Dangerous

15. The app is rated ages 17+ but Tinder's privacy policy allows
teens as young as 13 to register (the app connects with
Facebook — which is also technically for ages 13+ — to pull in
photos for users' Tinder profiles). Tinder helps people find
others in their geographic location and allows users to view
each others' photos and start instant messaging once both
people have "liked" one another. The geo-location features and
anonymous nature of the app put kids at risk for catfishing,
sexual harassment, stalking, and worse.
Why Is It Dangerous

16. 13 Years Old To Sign Up
Users Can Create Short Videos 3 To 60 Seconds Long
Users Are Allowed To Connect With Any Other Use
Strangers can send pictures and videos directly to your child
TikTok
Thirteen is the minimum age, but there isn’t a real way to validate age so anyone can
download the app. Also, parents express concern that there is a lot of inappropriate
language in the videos so it’s not appropriate for young children. Lastly, by default, all
accounts are set to public so strangers can contact your children.
Why Is It Dangerous

17. Does Ad Tracking & Analytics On Users
Has EVERY Kind Of Content
Community Can Be Toxic To Other Users
YouTube
Inappropriate content has been sliced into both all-ages content and children’s content.
Also, comments on videos can be extremely inappropriate and hurtful. YouTube also
has a known pedophile problem which is major cause for concern.
YouTube is changing the way they are doing things after being fined by the FTC for over
$170 million for Ad Tracking and Selling Minors information.
Why Is It Dangerous

18. Tellonym is a regular occurrence to see cyber bullying, violent threats, and sexual
content. It also offers unmonitored access to the internet. The age restrictions are
inconsistent ranging from 12 to 16, but this app is inappropriate for anyone younger
than being in their late teens.
Why Is It Dangerous

19. Facebook pages or communities
repost images that are found of
children online
Child Exploitation
Facebook has been used to transport, sell,
and trade humans on the internet. These
chats are often done in the open using code
words and terms.
HumanSex Trafficking
Cyberbullying is bullying that takes place
using electronic technology. Examples
of cyberbullying include mean text
messages or emails, rumors sent by
email or posted on social networking
sites, and embarrassing pictures, videos,
websites, or fake profiles.
Cyber Bullying
Know what your child is on and who they
are talking to. Also monitor their usage on
social media. Do not allow your child to
connect with strangers or people that they
do not know.
Stay Protected

20. How To Stay Protected
1. Understand Your Privacy Settings
- Search Settings
- Photo Settings
- Applications and Websites
2. Don’t Friend People You Don’t Know
It should be obvious, but know the people
You are friends with. Criminals often use fake
Profiles to send spam, or worse, steal personal
Information or gain access to your computer.
3. Think Twice About Applications
Applications can often pull information
about your account including name,
address, phone contacts, email contacts
and more.

21. How To Stay Protected
4. Understand Your Geolocation
Facebook uses Geolocation services
That track and monitor your every
Move. This application is called
Facebook Places and can be turned on
Or off in Privacy Settings.
5. Don’t Overshare
What's the best way to preserve your privacy?
The experts agree: Be conservative with what
you share. Things like your home address, your
family members, and your birthday are all easy
pickings for identity thieves. It's harder to retract
information than to simply not share at all.

23. The Facts

.04%
Estimates suggest that,
internationally, only about .04%
survivors of human trafficking
cases are identified, meaning
that most cases of human
trafficking go undetected.
Avg. Age
12- 14
The average age a teen enters
the sex trade in the US is 12 to
14 years old. Many victims are
runaway girls who were sexually
abused as children.
How Many People?
It’s estimated that internationally there are between 20
million and 40 million people in modern slavery today.
Assessing the full scope of human trafficking is difficult
because so cases so often go undetected, something the
United Nations refers to as “the hidden figure of crime.”
$150 Billion
Industry
In 2018
In 2018, The National Human Trafficking Hotline received
more calls from California than any other state in the US,
followed by Texas and Florida, respectively. (To contact the
Human Trafficking Hotline: call 1-888-373-7888, text 233733,

Child ID Program
Now there’s a free new tool from the FBI that can help. The Child ID app—the first mobile
application created by the FBI—provides a convenient place to electronically store photos and
vital information about your children so that it’s literally right at hand if you need it. You can show
the pictures and provide physical identifiers such as height and weight to security or police
officers on the spot. Using a special tab on the app, you can also quickly and easily e-mail the
information to authorities with a few clicks.
The app also includes tips on keeping children safe as well as specific guidance on what to do in
those first few crucial hours after a child goes missing.
