Teen Girl on ComputerOur friends at UKnowKids.com have produced a cool new infographic with statistics about child predators.  Some of these stats are quite alarming. Consider:

  • There are over 5 million predators surfing the Internet
  • One child in five has been sexually solicited online
  • Of those, more than 3/4 did not tell their parents about being solicited

Dads have a special responsibility to protect their children when they are online and to monitor their social media use.  Check out these resources for help in protecting your kids online.
