Parents, we have to pay attention.
Some youth are becoming content creators before they fully understand the consequences of what they post.
A funny video, viral challenge, personal story, location tag, or āinnocentā picture can travel far beyond the audience they intendedāand once itās online, control over that content can disappear quickly.
We have to teach our kids that likes, views, and followers are not worth sacrificing privacy or safety.
Before they POST, teach them to PAUSE:
Who can see this? What am I revealing? Could this hurt me later?
Digital safety is a life skill. Letās teach it BEFORE they learn the hard way.

PARENTS & EDUCATORS⦠PAY ATTENTION!
OUSD ā Oakland Unified School District ā is locking up student cell phones during the school day.
That may reduce distractions, but what happens when the pouch opens?
A pouch cannot teach a child how to recognize online grooming, sextortion, cyberbullying, predators in gaming chats, or dangerous DMs.
This is exactly why I wrote the Student Online Safety Act (SOSA).
We canāt just restrict technology.
We have to teach our kids how to be SAFE using it.

FRANCE JUST SAID: ENOUGH.
France has approved a law banning children under 15 from social media, becoming the first country in the European Union to approve such a broad restriction. (AP News)
And THIS is the conversation we need to be having in America.
We cannot keep handing children unlimited access to adult digital spaces and then acting surprised when they encounter grooming, sextortion, cyberbullying, exploitation and harmful content.
At Knot Our Kidz, Iāve been saying it:
Access without protection is not enough.
Education without monitoring is not enough.
We have to protect our children where they actually are ā ONLINE.
France is taking action.
šŗšø Parents and educators: Would you support a social media age restriction like this in the United States?

Some children know how to go viral⦠but donāt know how to stay safe.
Many kids can master trends, livestreams, and social media before they ever learn how to recognize grooming, sextortion, scams, or online predators.
We teach children how to use technology. But are we teaching them how to survive it?
Online safety shouldnāt start after something happens. It should start before the first post, the first game chat, and the first DM.
At Knot Our Kidz, weāre committed to protecting children online and offline through education, awareness, and prevention.

Honored. Humbled. More motivated than ever.
Iām incredibly grateful to be recognized as a 2026 Women to Watch Award Honoree by Black Leaders Worldwide.

Parentsā¦
Does your family have a bedtime device rule?
The hours after bedtime are when many children are online without supervisionāgaming, messaging, scrolling, or talking to people you may never know about.

š± No devices in bedrooms.
š Charge devices in a common area.
šØāš©āš§āš¦ Make it a family rule that everyone follows.
Protecting our kids doesnāt stop at bedtime.
Knot Our Kidz is committed to educating parents, educators, and communities about online and offline safety because one conversation can change a childās future.

Parents⦠we have to talk about SHARENTING. šš±
That cute first-day-of-school picture may show the school name.
That birthday post may reveal your childās full name and age.
That sports post may tell strangers where your child practices every Tuesday.
That vacation countdown may tell people exactly when your family is leaving town.
One post may seem harmless. But strangers can piece multiple posts together. š§©
Before you post your child, ask yourself:
What information am I giving someone who doesnāt know us?
Share the memories. ā¤ļø
But protect the details.
Privacy is part of internet safety.

šØ PARENTS⦠YOUR CHILDāS BIGGEST ONLINE INFLUENCE MAY BE ANOTHER CHILD.
Some children are teaching each other risky online behaviors.
How to hide apps.
How to delete messages.
How to create secret accounts.
How to bypass parental controls.
How to go live without parents knowing.
How to talk to strangers and keep it a secret.
And sometimes⦠the child teaching them learned it from someone dangerous online. š³
Parents, monitoring isnāt just about catching your child doing something wrong.
Itās about knowing who and WHAT is influencing them.
Check the group chats.
Check the gaming conversations.
Check the hidden accounts.
