COVID-19 Presents Potential for Increased Risk of Child Exploitation

April 2, 2020

As parents are doing double duty – home schooling children and working full time jobs remotely – the FBI warns schools, caregivers and parents to be extra vigilant against online sexual exploitation and signs of child abuse. Here are some recommendations from the FBI to help keep your children safe.

The Boston Division of the FBI also reported video-teleconferencing hijacking, also called Zoom-bombing, is emerging nationwide. The FBI has received multiple reports of conferences being disrupted by pornographic and/or hate images and threatening language.

As a result, the FBI warns schools against making classrooms on zoom public. If you are a school, please consider reviewing these warnings.
