What happens when “privacy” becomes the one thing standing between your child and an online predator?

In this episode, we unpack why giving teens too much freedom online can have dangerous consequences. From grooming tactics on popular platforms like Snapchat, Discord, and Roblox, to the rise of coordinated predator groups like 764, we examine how digital secrecy is being exploited by people who want private access to your kids.

We’ll explore how predators build trust, what parents can watch for, and why proximity and conversation are still your most powerful tools.

🎧 Tune in to learn how to create safer digital habits at home—and how to help your child feel protected, not policed, as they grow up online.
