PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN ONLINE
The internet has become a part of nearly every child's life. From social media and online gaming to messaging apps and other digital platforms, our children are more connected than ever. Unfortunately, those same platforms can also provide opportunities for predators to target, manipulate, and exploit them.
The Grayson County Sheriff's Office invites parents, guardians, and caregivers to join us for a FREE Internet Safety & Awareness Event.
Our investigators who specialize in child exploitation and trafficking investigations will share their knowledge and firsthand experience to help parents better understand the dangers children face online.
Topics will include:
✅How predators use social media, gaming, and messaging platforms to target children.
✅Online grooming, exploitation, and trafficking tactics.
✅Warning signs parents should recognize.
✅Practical steps families can take to protect their children.
✅What to do if you believe your child is being targeted or exploited.

We cannot protect our children from dangers we don't recognize. The goal of this event isn't to frighten parents or discourage technology. It's to give families the knowledge and tools they need to recognize threats, have important conversations, and make informed decisions about their children's online safety.
Protecting children is a responsibility we all share.
We hope you'll join us, and we encourage you to share this event with other parents, grandparents, and caregivers throughout Grayson County.
