How Posting About Your Kids Can Put Them at Risk (Without You Realizing It)

It starts innocently — a photo at the front door with a backpack, a tagged school name, a check-in at the soccer field.

But to a predator, a scammer, or even a corporate threat actor, that information becomes actionable. They now know your child’s name, school, general schedule, and — if you’re like most people — what days you're out of town.

Most parents don't realize how often they're sharing location, routine, and identity data in plain sight.

Here’s an example:

• A photo of your kid with the school mascot in the background

• A comment about their favorite teacher

• A story showing your drive home — timestamped

It doesn’t take a hacker. Just attention.

We’re not here to shame parents. We’re here to protect them.
