There have been excellent resources that have been shared in this X chat on encouraging kindness, compassion and respect. Teaching more abt media literacy education and digital wellness in online spaces helps to dispel disinformation.Focus on truths and critical thinking. #NCAP25

Q9. How can we encourage kids and teens to lead with kindness, show empathy, and stand up for what’s right, especially in online spaces? #NCAPM25

[Amanda Todd Legacy @AToddLegacy]

Teens tend to believe that they know how to be safe all by themselves but this is not always the case. MUSTS INCLUDE: direct conversations, sharing real life stories, showing 'to the point' videos will support the skills and knowledge needed to stay safer online.@c_todd #NCAPM25

[National Center for Missing & Exploited Children @NCMEC]

Q7. What are the most effective ways to educate teens about the risks of sexting, and how can we empower them to make safe, informed choices? #NCAPM25

[Amanda Todd Legacy @AToddLegacy]

More open and direct conversations need to be held with youth about what these apps do and how they can be used to threaten them. These talks also need to happen with parents/caregivers/educators etc so a greater level of understanding is present. @c_todd #NCAPM25

Q5. “Nudify” apps use AI to remove clothing from photos, often without consent. What risks do these tools pose to minors, and how can we effectively address them? #NCAPM25

[Amanda Todd Legacy @AToddLegacy]

The developers of such 'Nudify' apps need to be asked and held accountable with respect to why an app like this needs to be in existence. @c_todd #NCAPM25

[Amanda Todd Legacy @AToddLegacy]

Parents, community leaders and organizations, law enforcement and educators/school boards need to be involved in the discussion of how to increase awareness and education. @c_todd #NCAPM25

Q4. NCMEC has received reports of children being blackmailed with explicit images of themselves generated by GAI. What can we do to raise awareness and protect young people from this alarming form of financial sextortion? #NCAPM25

[Amanda Todd Legacy @AToddLegacy]

To protect young people from being blackmailed, awareness and education needs to be increased to the adults who surround young people in order for the appropriate safety conversations to happen. Without that knowledge, we are swimming upstream. @c_todd #NCAPM25

If you want your kids to ask for help?

✳️Listen first.
✳️Keep talks judgment-free.
✳️Trust and communication opens the door to children making safer decisions. #NCAPM25

[Darkness to Light @Darkness2Light]

A2: Teach critical thinking, not just rules. Help kids think through scenarios, such as “What would you do if…?” or “How would you feel if…?” Normalize asking for help and praise them when they do speak up—even about small things. #NCAPM25

[National Crime Agency (NCA) @NCA_UK]

A3. (1/2) GenAI is being increasingly used to create child sexual abuse content faster, on a larger scale and with greater sophistication than before, generating both partial and fully synthetic indecent image of children.

[Know2Protect @Know2Protect]

@NCMEC A3. (1/3) AI is being misused to create fake — but harmful and realistic — child abuse imagery. The tech may be new and imagery fake, but the harm is real.

[Amanda Todd Legacy @AToddLegacy]

Generative AI is being used nefariously to create intimate imagery and exploitative materials that is used to threaten individuals. These situations of threats are not gender specific but can be created into a dangerous situation for anyone, especially children. @c_todd #NCAPM25

[National Center for Missing & Exploited Children @NCMEC]

Q3. How is Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) being used to create exploitative content involving children? #NCAPM25

[Amanda Todd Legacy @AToddLegacy]

Having many supportive adults in a child's life (not just parents) is a must and is IMPORTANT to have!! @c_todd #NCAPM25

[National Center for Missing & Exploited Children @NCMEC]

A2. Building trust is key to building safety.

Adults can foster a safer environment by listening and keeping conversations open. Remind kids that it's never their fault if someone shows them inappropriate content or makes them uncomfortable online. #NCAPM25

[McGruff The Crime Dog® @McGruffatNCPC]

A2. It’s extremely important for parents to stay involved in their kids online lives just as much as their social lives. Make what’s happening on social media part of family discussions. Find mutual interests in games and other activities. #NCAPM25

[Know2Protect @Know2Protect]

A2. When kids run into trouble online, they need to know they can turn to a trusted adult.
✅Stay calm
✅ Listen
✅Check in often — especially about the apps they use.

Support starts with trust. Visit https://t.co/4HYlnSpBfs tips on how to talk with young survivors of online exploitation and abuse.

[Amanda Todd Legacy @AToddLegacy]

@NCMEC Be caring, supportive and listen without judgement. Our kids need us as adults to help them through situations and a crisis. Not to get mad at them. This is why mentoring our children through social media and device use is important. #NCAPM25

[National Center for Missing & Exploited Children @NCMEC]

Q2. What steps can adults take to foster a safer and more supportive environment for kids to seek help when they encounter issues in their online activities, such as social media or gaming? #NCAPM25

[Amanda Todd Legacy @AToddLegacy]

@NCMEC Parents should become more informed about devices and what they can do in addition to what can be accessed by their child. Parents need to have the hard conversations about device usage, online safety, exploitation and what to do if a red flag occurs. #NCAPM25

[Know2Protect @Know2Protect]

@NCMEC A1. (1/2) Be proactive — know the threats before your child picks up their first digital device. Use privacy settings, set limits and check in often. Visit https://t.co/1CtxwlM50M to understand the risks your child may face online.
