Protecting Children Online
Hansen discussed the growing threat of sextortion and recalled conversations with families whose teenage sons were targeted by scammers posing as young women online. He emphasized the importance of parents having discussions with their children about internet safety from a very early age.
Hansen said parents need to have open and honest conversations with their children about the potential dangers of the internet, including online predators who may try to trick or manipulate them. He advised parents to start by telling their children not to talk to anyone online who they don’t know in real life.
