If I Go Missing

Scammers are using AI to fake proof-of-life photos and videos and demand ransom. They pull images from social media, alter them, and send them claiming a loved one has been kidnapped. 😳

AI scams are getting smarter. Awareness matters.

Quick heads-up for parents and creators 🚨

If you edit a video using CapCut, you’re agreeing to terms that allow the company to use, reproduce, and distribute your likeness, voice, and content — even after you stop using the app.

THAT INCLDUES VIDEOS OF YOUR KIDS.

Most people click “accept” without realizing what they’re giving up. This isn’t about panic — it’s about awareness.

Before uploading faces, voices, or personal moments, take a minute to read the fine print. Once it’s out there, control is limited.

This is unacceptable. We need to DO BETTER!

If you’ve heard teens saying “wabi-sabi” lately, it’s worth paying attention.

Originally about embracing imperfection, the term has been adopted by teens online, sometimes as a way to cope with pressure, disappointment, or not fitting in.

Not every trend is a red flag, but language can offer insight.

This is from a few weeks ago, but, THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENS.
Not in dark alleys.
Not through strangers at the mall.
But through everyday apps our kids use without a second thought.

This isn’t about fear, it’s about awareness, conversations, and preparation. Because when minutes matter, having information centralized and ready can make all the difference.

And please don’t assume “it couldn’t happen to us.”

Wishing you a joyous holiday season filled with love, laughter, and connection.

I am deeply grateful for your support — for trusting us, sharing our mission, and helping us get If I Go Missing into the hands of more families. Together, we’re creating opportunities to start those uncomfortable or awkward conversations you don’t know how to have — conversations that can keep your kids safe or ensure you have the right information if the unimaginable ever happens.

This holiday, our hope is simple: that every family feels a little safer, a little more prepared, and a lot more connected.

Thank you for being part of the If I Go Missing journey. Here’s to a season of safety, love, and peace. 🎁✨

The holidays can be stressful — even dangerous — for some teens.

Family conflict, strict rules, or feeling unheard can push kids to make choices we hope they never have to make.

Check in. Listen. Support. Safety starts with connection.

A lot of runaway stories start the same way:

🚩Kids feeling unheard, unseen, or unsafe in their own home.
🚩Strict or controlling parenting, or a lack of supportive communication, can push them to leave — not because they want freedom, but because they want relief.

Let’s build homes where kids feel safe talking, safe questioning, and safe being themselves.

Ever feel like your teen has a whole secret life you don’t know about?

From hidden apps to private messages to worries they won’t share, it’s impossible to ask the right questions without guidance.

If I Go Missing helps you start the conversations that matter and keeps your teen safe — before it’s too late.

Safety for kids. Sanity for parents.

🎄 Holidays Can Be Harder Than They Seem...they are supposed to be joyful — but for some kids, it can be stressful, overwhelming, or even unsafe.

Family conflict, financial pressure, substance use, or major life changes like divorce or remarriage can all intensify during the holidays. For vulnerable teens, this added stress can sometimes push them toward running away.

It’s a reminder that the holidays aren’t just about gifts and celebrations — they’re also a time to check in with the kids around us. Listening, connecting, and creating safety can make all the difference.

💡 If you’re a parent or caregiver, make extra space for conversations this season. Your attention and support might be what keeps a child safe.

Your teen might seem fine… but appearances can be deceiving.

They may hide online activity, stressful friendships, or fears they don’t know how to say out loud.

If I Go Missing gives you the tools to uncover what matters most — before a crisis ever happens.
