A Parent's Worst Fear: When Scammers Target Your Child


Listen Later

Children today are more vulnerable than ever to online predators—especially on platforms like Snapchat, where anonymity and impulsivity can collide with devastating consequences.

In today’s episode of The Protectors Podcast, Mike and Mark sit down with two incredibly brave parents who took immediate, decisive action when their daughter was targeted in what could’ve turned into an extortion scam. They walk us through how they recognized the warning signs, the critical role law enforcement played, and the red flags every parent should be watching for. This is an important episode for anyone with kids, teens, or young adults navigating the digital world because the scammers are out there - and they’re professionals - but so are The Protectors!
