Online child safety can’t depend on a parent watching every screen. Lindsay Lobb, Director of Support Services at the Canadian Centre for Child Protection, offers a starting point for helping children recognise pressure and talk about uncomfortable interactions.

A police warning about coordinated offenders raises a concern beyond a single stranger sending a message. Lindsay describes how these online spaces can encourage harmful behaviour, while contact with a child may begin on an app they already use. What should parents understand about that progression?

There’s room for reassurance alongside the concern. Healthy connections with adults still matter, and families don’t have to wait for a crisis to ask questions. Lindsay points to support for both prevention and situations where something has already gone wrong.

Topics: online child safety, offender coordination, parenting conversations, safe relationships, youth support
