Today during Five Days of Action®, we’re highlighting the importance of monitoring online activity and having a plan.
Did you know 1 in 5 children who use a digital device will be sexually solicited online? Technology changes fast, and kids are targeted on the apps, games, and sites they love. Having a Cyber P.L.A.N., monitoring device use, and teaching online safety rules can help keep your child safe. Visit fivedaysofaction.org and check out resources from our partners in child abuse prevention, Lauren's Kids, to learn how to set boundaries, teach good cyber habits, and protect your family online.

Today during Five Days of Action®, we’re encouraging parents and caregivers to stay on top of trends and research online safety.
From apps to gaming, staying on top of digital trends can be overwhelming. National Center for Missing & Exploited Children offers free resources to help trusted adults understand online risks—including sextortion and the growing use of generative AI—and talk with kids about staying safe. Check out the tip sheets at fivedaysofaction.org and be sure to explore the other resources provided by the Y’s partners in child abuse prevention, NCMEC. Together, we can build safer communities!

Today’s Five Days of Action® focus is on recognizing red flags online and in-person.
Certain behaviors can signal risk for child sexual abuse and understanding them helps you act early to keep kids safe. We’re sharing an infographic that shows what to watch for—whether the behavior may be low, moderate, or high risk—and these behaviors, or grooming, can show up both in person and online situations. Visit fivedaysofaction.org for the infographic and be sure to check out the resources provided by the Y’s partners in child abuse prevention, National Children’s Alliance.
