The Conversation That Could Save Your Child

This week, another parent contacted Detective Mike Lemon about their teenager being targeted by s*xtortionists.

We're on pace for 1 million cases this year.

Your child's account might be open right now. Predators are doing research, finding out who they can threaten to share photos with to maximize embarrassment.

They target good kids. Honor students. Athletes. Kids who've never broken a rule.

The window to prepare your family is closing. Tomorrow is your last chance to watch our Online Parent Challenge training this week.

Don't let your child face this alone and unprepared.

Three Simple Steps That Work

After investigating hundreds of these cases, Detective Mike Lemon has learned that keeping kids safe doesn't require being a tech expert.

You need three things:

#1:  Put devices to bed at night (in your room)
#2:  Watch the video for #2
#3:  Watch the video for #3

Most sextortion happens at night when kids are alone with their devices. Just doing step one makes them dramatically safer.

Our Online Parent Challenge walks you through all three steps with practical, parent-tested strategies.

You got this. And you don't have to do it alone.

 Surprise Prize Unlock:

 >Student videos: PreK-2nd Grade, 3rd-5th, and 6th-12th

HCS Online Parent Challenge - Day #2 - see the link below

It's not too late to get started.

"My Child Would Tell Me If Something Happened"

We hear this from loving parents every day. But here's the hard truth:

Even kids from the strongest families don't report sextortion because of shame, fear of losing their phone, or not wanting to worry their parents.

One in five cases now involve AI-generated photos. Your child doesn't even have to send anything to become a victim.

Detective Mike Lemon, who has investigated these crimes for 16 years, shows parents that predators all use the same playbook: embarrassment, fear of arrest, and physical threats.

Learn how to spot the warning signs and create safe communication in our Online Parent Challenge this week.
