1 in 9 youth experience online sexual exploitation. Preventing abuse means being vigilant about online safety, too.

- Encourage open communication with children, so they feel comfortable discussing any concerns or incidents they come across. Let your children know they can always talk to you.

- Talk to youth about not sharing n**e photos but also talk to them about how no one should ever ask for a n**e picture and by asking – this alone should be a red flag.

- Need a conversation starter – what would you do if someone ever threatened you online?

- Make sure children know they can always come to you, even if it’s in the middle of the night.

One of the most effective ways to prevent abuse is through open and honest communication. Caregivers have the job of creating safe and nurturing environments for children.

Open and honest communication =

- builds trust with a child
- empowers them with knowledge about boundaries and body safety
- more likely to disclose that something has happened to them
