Many parents share photographs and videos of their children on social media — a natural expression of pride in their families. However, oversharing on social media can put children at risk. Digital kidnapping is a form of identity theft that occurs when someone takes photographs of a child from social media and repurposes them under new names and identities. Images can be altered and used for blackmail. Specific details in posts can also identify where a child lives, plays, and attends school, creating potential physical risks.
