Exactly! Predators may use manipulative tactics. What kinds of information should you never share online?
Things like my home address, phone number, or personal photos.

We can block users we don't know.
That's one important step! Reporting suspicious behavior is also crucial. Who can tell me how to report someone?
Usually there’s a report option on social media platforms.

Content that might be offensive or upsetting, like violence or explicit material.

Parental controls can block certain sites, so kids don’t accidentally see something inappropriate.

Now, let's focus on preventive strategies. What can we do to stay safe online?
Use parental controls!
Educate ourselves about the risks.
Precisely. Awareness and constant communication about online activities are key. Ensure you feel comfortable discussing concerns with trusted adults.
What if we're just not sure about something?
If unsure, ask an adult or a trusted friend for advice. What’s the final takeaway we should remember?
Protect your personal information, and speak up about anything suspicious!
Excellent, great job everyone! Always keep that in mind.
If you spot a stranger online, don't engage, just decline; keep your personal details tight, day or night!
