We hear this from loving parents every day. But here's the hard truth:
Even kids from the strongest families don't report sextortion because of shame, fear of losing their phone, or not wanting to worry their parents.
One in five cases now involve AI-generated photos. Your child doesn't even have to send anything to become a victim.
Detective Mike Lemon, who has investigated these crimes for 16 years, shows parents that predators all use the same playbook: embarrassment, fear of arrest, and physical threats.

Parents, we need to talk about something difficult.
S*xtortion cases have exploded from 44,000 in 2021 to over 500,000 last year.
That's 28 cases a day in Kentucky alone.
Good kids are facing life-altering consequences in as little as 45 minutes after meeting the wrong person online. These are honor students, athletes, kids who've never broken a rule.
This week, we're offering our Online Parent Challenge featuring Detective Mike Lemon to help you protect your child before something happens. The training takes just 30 minutes and gives you the tools you need.
