Child predators can hide their identities from the children and teenagers they target on the internet, which has led to a rise in sextortion. Learn about the real-life consequences of this online crime and the steps you can take to prevent it at ow.ly/iZSR50Eu9IZ. #CAPMonth

Pay attention to changes in your child’s behaviors or attitudes, & watch for sudden signs of withdrawal, aggression or regression. Was there a precipitating event? A significant change could be a red flag of #ChildAbuse or #maltreatment.

#Childabuse #offenders will make it difficult for victims to report their abuse. Make it easier for them: communicate, listen & believe. “I believe you,” “It’s not your fault” & “I love you” are the best things caregivers can tell child #victims of abuse & exploitation. #CAPMonth

While kids are NEVER responsible for their #abuse, some characteristics may increase their risk for #AdverseChildhoodExperiences
• Ages 4 years & younger
• Special needs (e.g., #disabilities, #mentalhealth issues, chronic physical illness)

Individuals who buy sex with minors are often parents, caregivers, business leaders—not the type of people we usually associate with criminal conduct. This is #ChildTrafficking & should be treated as such. Buyers of sex with minors are as culpable as pimps. #EndDemand #HTAM

Parental/caregiver support is critical for #LGBTQyouth who are recovering from trauma. Providers play an essential role in helping #families build their capacity to affirm and support their LGBTQ #youth. Learn more about engaging families: bit.ly/38g4Rpr #LGBTQpride

Older teens engage in #sexting behavior more often than younger teens, & teen sexting is related to sexual behaviors. Sexual exploration & identity development are important aspects of child #development. Be open to discussing sexual development w/ your kids. More @AmerAcadPeds

#Online exploitation is up by more than 100% with kids online more due to #COVID-19. Stay involved & learn the apps, games & websites your child visits & make sure they are age-appropriate. Use parental control filters to monitor use & #ProtectChildren from harmful content.

Youth who are suspected #victims of sex #trafficking should receive a forensic interview by a professional trained in interviewing children & adolescents to fully understand their experiences while being trafficked, & how they were coerced or manipulated into the life. #HTAM
