A Pop-Up Chat: How My Second Grader Fell Victim to an Online Predator

Hope and Will: A Parenting Podcast from Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta

Rachel had done everything right, or so she thought. She and her husband enabled parental controls on their devices. They regularly initiated conversations with their daughters about internet safety. Still, an innocent click on a pop-up connected their second grader with an online predator. In this eye-opening episode, Rachel shares her family's experience and Angie Boy, DrPH, from our Stephanie V. Blank Center for Safe and Healthy Children discusses her team’s work, how her work impacts her own parenting and resources to keep kids safe online.
