YOUR SAY: Do you share images of your children on social media? The AFP have issued a warning to parents, urging them to check their privacy settings and be mindful of sharing happy snaps of their children returning to school. DETAILS: 9News
But the Australian Federal Police has issued a warning for parents to think twice before they share their happy snaps on social media.
Parents should also avoid posting the full name of their children and consider that images of kids in their school uniform could identify which school they attend, Commander Sirec said. "We have seen some offenders go to great lengths to gain access to children and in some instances, online grooming has started with information that parents and carers have shared online."Sharing images of identified children in school uniform can help reveal to potential predators which school they attend.
"We all need to remember that in the digital age, that is the equivalent of posting information and images of children online without the appropriate safeguards."Keep your child's personal information including full name and age private
