DANGER!

An Online Predator Will LIE To You To Gain Your TRUST!

They might tell you they will treat you better than your family.

An adult tells you he or she will buy things for you.

A predator may tell you he or she loves you.

THEN WHAT? Predators might send you pictures that make you feel uncomfortable and then tell you that it is okay to look at them.

They may even tell you that they are going to tell your parents, or that they know where you live and are going to hurt you or your family if you tell anyone about them.

But no matter what they say or do THEY WILL ALWAYS WANT TO MEET YOU!

Becoming your new BEST friend.

A Predator will groom you by:

But, don’t be fooled! These are just LIES!But, don’t be fooled! These are just LIES!

Pretending to like the same things.

Pretending to share your interests.

Telling you they truly care about you.

Always taking your side.

LET’S RECAP!

The FBI has a special task force to find Internet predators.

Victims are typically in their early to mid teens.

BOTH GIRLS and BOYS ARE TARGETS!

1 in 5 U.S. teenagers say they have received an unwanted sexual solicitation online.

That makes YOU at RISK!
