As the first day of school quickly approaches, we wanted to remind parents of a simple safety tip when posting that back-to-school photo.
While we know these photos are fun to take and look back on for memories, keeping your child's personal information at a minimum is important.
By sharing your child's school, grade, teacher, interests, etc. you are giving predators unique information about your child and where they can find them.
