The FBI also issues warnings to parents, educators, caregivers, and children about the dangers of online sexual exploitation.  Due to school closings as a result of COVID-19, children potentially have an increased online presence and/or be in a position that places them at an inadvertent risk. Learn more about this risk and help us protect our children with guidance found here: https://www.fbi.gov/news/pressrel/press-releases/school-closings-due-to-covid-19-present-potential-for-increased-risk-of-child-exploitation.
