Parents of middle schoolers - CHECK YOUR CHILD’s SNAPCHAT! Look for any contacts called “ALEX”

There was a male predator arrested last week who was in the process of convincing an FCPS middle schooler to meet him in a parking lot. The police have said that there are other victims and are asking the community for help.

Or better yet, get rid of Snapchat on your child’s phone.

I think this should be in the “Tweens and Teens” forum.

Fairfax County PD arrested 10 men this week who solicited minors.

"Parents are urged to closely monitor their children’s online activities and use available security settings to prevent the use of inappropriate sites or platforms. Children should be encouraged to report any person engaging in inappropriate conversations or trying to coerce them into providing sexually explicit images of themselves. Additional internet safety information provided by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children can be found HERE. There are many applications predators use to solicit victims. Parents are encouraged to know what applications their children are using and have open dialog of the dangers they may pose."
