Keeping Kids Safe Online Starts at Home

Technology opens doors for kids—but it also brings risks parents need to know about. Many popular apps may look harmless but can expose children to strangers, bullying, explicit content, or hidden activity.

We put together a list of “Apps Parents Should Know” to help you start the conversation with your kids. This is not a complete list, but it’s a good starting point to understand what your child may be using.

Tips for Parents:
• Check the apps installed on your child’s devices.
• Set boundaries for screen time and online interactions.
• Talk often about who they connect with and what’s safe to share.
• Stay updated—new apps appear all the time, and features change quickly.

Open communication is the most effective safety tool. Let your kids know you’re not trying to invade their privacy—you’re protecting them.

👮‍♂️ The Kent County Sheriff’s Office is here to partner with you in keeping children safe online and in the community.
