How to Protect Your Children and Yourself From Unseen Predators

1. Teach children to trust their feelings

If something feels “off,” uncomfortable, or confusing, it probably is.

2. Watch for adults who want too much access

Anyone insisting on alone time, secrecy, or special privileges is a red flag.

3. Know the names your children interact with online

Ask your child to show you usernames and aliases of people they talk to.

Use Keeper of Truth™: Search those aliases before trusting them.

4. Do not assume someone is safe because others trust them

Predators often hide behind reputation, charm, and kindness.

5. Pay attention to fast attachments

Adults who quickly become “best friends,” gift-givers, or saviors are often grooming.

6. Teach children not to keep secrets for adults

Secrecy is one of the strongest tools predators use.

7. Check aliases before agreeing to meetings or allowing contact

A quick search with Keeper of Truth™ can reveal patterns or warnings.

8. Be involved in your child’s online life

Know who they talk to, follow, and message.

9. Be cautious with adults who overstep boundaries

Adults who ignore rules, parents, or privacy should be watched closely.

10. Look for people who collect vulnerable children or adults

Predators often target the lonely, quiet, insecure, or ones with unmet needs.

11. Teach children to never exchange photos, information, or meet alone

Make “no meeting strangers” a firm rule—online or offline.

12. Check places, venues, and organizations for patterns

Predators often reappear in the same types of locations.

Use Keeper of Truth™: Use the form to search for dangerous locations reported by others.

13. Believe your instincts even if you have no proof

Your fear or discomfort is a protective gift—listen to it.

14. Use Keeper of Truth™ to stay aware

Search aliases

Review match results

Look for repeated patterns

Use awareness to set safety boundaries

Share information when something doesn’t feel right

15. Talk openly with your children

Predators thrive in silence. Awareness begins at home.
