Today, the Queensland Police Service (QPS) and the Queensland Family and Child Commission (QFCC) launched their #DoIKnowU campaign to educate young people, parents, carers and educators about the behaviours which prevent, recognise and respond to online grooming.
The campaign demonstrates the tactics predators use to trap young people into sharing sexual images of themselves.
The information is based on real life transcripts provided by Argos and the campaign was created in collaboration with young people.

Children can stay safe online by:

knowing someone in real life before accepting their friend request online
limiting how much personal information they share online
telling someone to slow down or block and delete a person if they feel uncomfortable
know it is illegal to create, send, or have sexual images of someone (including yourself) who looks under the age of 18
