Be that trusted adult!

Enough Is Enough

Teach your child to:
• Never share intimate images
• Recognize manipulation and threats
• End uncomfortable conversations
• Save messages and other evidence
• Tell you or another trusted adult immediately
Make sure they know they will not be blamed—We encourage parents and grandparents to be that “trusted adult” their child can come to no matter what.

How much do you know about your child's apps?

Our Rescue

Your child could be using an app you know well, while having conversations you know nothing about.

Disappearing messages. Private chats. Location sharing. Anonymous communication. AI-generated interactions.

The features that make apps fun and convenient can also create opportunities for cyberbullying, inappropriate content, contact with strangers, grooming, and exploitation.

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation (NCOSE) included several popular platforms on its 2026 Dirty Dozen List, highlighting apps parents should be paying attention to.

Our latest blog breaks down those popular apps parents should know about, the risks to look out for, and questions you can ask your child to help keep the conversation going.

Read the blog and learn practical ways to help your child navigate the digital world more safely. https://bit.ly/4ydwnPe

Predators often rely on secrecy and silence. Be that trusted adult that children feel safe to talk to.

Child Rescue Coalition

Children shouldn’t have to navigate the dangers of the internet alone. They should know they can always come to you.

The most important online safety tool isn’t an app or a setting. It’s a trusted adult.

Keep the conversation going. Ask what they’re watching. Who they’re talking to. What’s happening in their group chats. And remind them that they can come to you, even when they’ve made a mistake, broken a rule, or don’t know what to do.

Because predators often rely on secrecy and silence. A child who knows they can talk to a trusted adult is less likely to face those moments alone.

Keep talking. Keep listening. Keep the door open.
