Be careful online guys

I’m not a parent so i will probably get so much backlash for this but it needs to be said. Stop giving your kids unlimited/ unrestricted access to the internet. Especially little kids, I can give it a pass for teens because they’re much older; however i still think some monitoring needs to be done.

Someone messaged me here, their pfp was a little girl and she couldn’t have been more than 9 or 10 years old, her profile had no age and no pictures except the one. Im thinking this is either the parent or some complete stranger who is using a childs picture. Most likely a stranger cause a parent wouldve at least had some posts if not pictures.

Which brings me back to my point, please watch who interacts with your kids online, and watch for people who take a liking to your kids when you’re mentioning them or posting them online. Im not telling you how to parent im just saying it because now there’s some weirdo out there using some little girl’s picture, and there’s probably alot more out there like that.

Usually when people steal childrens photos and post them as their pfp, they will pretend to be that child in order to get closer to other children like her. It’s a very common tactic among predators, and can be very effective.

So if you see anyone like this please report and make others aware.

If you see anyone named Kimber51 be careful

Parents should already have the cautious mindset with their younger children when it comes to the internet, if not then something is wrong 🤷🏾‍♂️
@Moneyonmymind I knew a few parents who couldn't care less what their kids do, that was pretty much most of them in the 80's

@NativePortlander1970 ehhh back during that time it was a bit different as the internet wasn’t a big thing as it is now but I see what you’re saying
@Moneyonmymind It was still a dangerous time, even more so as we weren't supervised much, a lot of kidnappings happened during the 70's and 80's.

@NativePortlander1970 also true, cold world we live in
@Moneyonmymind John Walsh started his America's Most Wanted show due to his own son being kidnapped in the late 70's, that case became the made for tv movie, Adam.

@NativePortlander1970 funny you mention Adam Walsh, I read about his son's story on wikipedia very very sad situation
@Moneyonmymind I remember it hitting the national news as a breaking story when they found his body, it pre empted a tv show we were watching at the time.
