Another tip…these individuals will present themselves as a child initially. These predators know more about what I call “kid speak” popular games, popular movies, popular TV shows, popular kids on YouTube or TikTok. These predators know this stuff far better than most parents. This is why your child thinks they are communicating with another kid!
