🔥Every day, your child scrolls through videos, follows trends, and connects with friends online. Not every video is real. Not every trend is safe. And a poorly planned "cooking hack" can quickly start a fire if it falls into the wrong hands.

🍳Online, we see fake cooking videos, AI-generated "life hacks", or even dangerous challenges all designed to target your children. And they can put themselves, and your home, in harm's way.

Parents & Educators, talk to your kids about online safety and fire risks. Five minutes at home or in a class could prevent a house fire started by a viral trend.

Remember, your awareness of what your child sees online is the first step in preventing a tragedy. Before your kids try anything they see online, talk to them about this:

✔️ Not all cooking videos are real! Some are AI-generated or fake, and cannot be accomplished in real life.
✔️ "Life hacks" that seem cool can be dangerously wrong. Always check the facts and do diligent research from various sources.
✔️ Never try a trend involving fire, stoves, or cooking without asking a trusted adult first
