As the new school term begins, parents are warned against posting photos of their children online, especially in school uniforms.
The Federal Police emphasized that sharing such photos can expose children to risks, as they may be misused by criminals for illegal activities, including identity theft and exploitation.
Complaints have been received about children’s photos being used by fraudsters for pornography, prompting authorities to urge caution.
Photos revealing the child’s school and surroundings can provide identifying details, increasing the likelihood of crimes targeting the child.
Parents are advised to prioritize their children’s safety by being mindful of their online sharing habits during the school term.
