Episode Details

Kids are falling prey to online predators in record numbers, with reports to NC State’s cybercrime unit skyrocketing over 1,000% in just one year. These predators are masters of disguise, using popular apps like Instagram, TikTok, and Discord to lure children with likes and followers — often without them realizing the danger. Parents, who are vigilant in the real world, often overlook online risks. Experts urge parents to actively engage — ask kids about their apps, who they’re chatting with, and whether they can identify their online contacts. A webinar on June 23rd from 2–3:15 p.m. offers practical tools to help keep kids safe in the digital wild.
