How social media hashtags put your kids in danger—both online and offline
CRC’s founder and CEO Carly Yoost says these hashtags allow predators to access regular photos that don’t necessarily fit the criteria of child porn. But because the pics are public and easily searchable, they’re of interest to those who are sexually attracted to kids.Not only can pedophiles easily screenshot family pics or cute dress-up snaps, but when these posts have geographical tagging enabled, they become particularly unsafe, putting children in physical danger of being found offline.
But it can’t catch everything, and Sauer cautions that photos that seem OK are often misused and may even be edited by predators to appear more sexual. “Are parents sure they’re fully informed when they consent on behalf of their child, when it comes toonline?” she asks. “When the child starts going to grade school or high school, would that child appreciate having those photos posted?”
Yoost agrees, adding that 89 percent of parents haven’t checked their privacy settings in over a year and aren’t actually sure if they’re private.
