Police Warn Parents About Dangers of Back-to-School Photo Trend

We all know that social media can be a dangerous place. We’ve often talked on For Every Mom about how different hashtags or innocent photos of our kids can be misused by the wrong people.

Authorities are now warning parents to be mindful when it comes to a popular back-to-school photo trend, as it could make kids an easy target for predators.

The McHenry County Sheriff’s Office in Woodstock, Illinois, recently shared a side-by-side photo of Deputy Sherriff Tim Creighton holding up a sign that reads “My 1st Day of School.” In both snaps, Creighton is holding the same poster, which lists several details about him including his name, grade, the school’s name, the teacher’s name, several of his favorite things, his age, weight, and height.
