Playing online can be fun. Let’s practice what to do when something feels wrong. Imagine a game asks for your name, your school, or a photo. Pause. Don’t send it. Ask your grown-up first. If a message or picture feels scary, confusing, or unkind, stop and tell a trusted adult. You can say, ‘Can you help me with this?’ You won’t be in trouble for asking for help. If someone asks you to keep an online secret from your grown-up, tell your grown-up. Remember: pause, ask, and tell. Practice together: who are two grown-ups you can go to?

Warning signs & what to do

These are general indicators worth paying attention to — not proof on their own, but reasons to stay engaged and ask gentle questions.

  • An adult seeking unusual private time, secrecy, or one-on-one access to a child
  • Gifts, money, or special attention that feels designed to create a private bond
  • A child becoming withdrawn, anxious, or secretive — especially about a person or device
  • Pressure to keep secrets from parents or other trusted adults
  • Sudden changes in mood, sleep, or online behavior
1
Stay calm and keep the conversation open. Let the child know they're safe and not in trouble.
2
Write down what you observed — dates, words, and facts, kept objective.
3
Call 911 for immediate danger. Report suspected abuse to local child protection or law enforcement; report suspected sexual exploitation to NCMEC. Childhelp provides support, not official reporting.
