🔐 A Parent’s Reminder: Think Before You Post
As parents, we love sharing our children’s accomplishments, milestones, birthdays, vacations, first days of school, and special moments with friends and family. ❤️📸
However, the Holley Police Department would like to remind parents and guardians to be mindful of just how much information may be revealed in a single social media post.
Before posting, consider whether the photo or caption reveals:
• Your child’s full name or nickname
• Their age or date of birth
• Their school, classroom, or teacher
• Sports teams, practices, or regular activities
• Your home address or neighborhood
• Your daily routines or locations
• Vacation plans or when your home will be unoccupied
• Personal information visible in the background of photos
Information that seems harmless when shared individually can sometimes be combined by someone with bad intentions to learn a great deal about your child and your family.
🔎 Take a moment before you post:
“Does this photo or information need to be public?”
Consider reviewing your social media privacy settings, limiting who can see your posts, and avoiding real-time location updates.
Most importantly, talk with your children about online safety and remind them that once something is posted online, it can be very difficult to completely remove.
We encourage everyone to Share the memories—protect the information. ❤️
Stay safe, stay aware, and think before you post.
