"It is critical that both parents and children understand that individuals online are not always who they claim to be," shared the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office Thursday. "Child predators often use false identities, fake profiles, and manipulation tactics to gain trust and exploit young people. Teaching children to be cautious about who they communicate with, what information they share, and to report suspicious behavior can help prevent exploitation and keep them safe."
