Keep Your Children Safe Online

Technology is a double-edged sword. A majority of children and teens now enjoy increased screen time and are active on social media, where they’re constantly posting updates about their regular activities and even whereabouts.

As a result, it places them at inadvertent risk as traffickers, who are always on the prowl, have leveraged the wonders of modern communication and technology to scout and scale their reach to their victims.

If you’re a parent wondering “How can I protect my child on the internet?” know that you can implement good child internet safety practices to ensure your child is safe online. Read more about our 12 suggestions you can use to engage, educate, and protect your children online on our blog.

Our children deserve to live in a world free from exploitation.

This Giving Tuesday, YOU are the only thing that stands between them and a predator. Stand with DeliverFund in the fight against human trafficking.
