Instagram Guide
Instagram isn't just photo sharing anymore.
Over the past few months, Instagram has systematically copied every dangerous feature from Snapchat—and added some terrifying new ones of their own.
The result? Officer Gomez just moved Instagram to the #2 most dangerous app for kids. Right behind Snapchat.
Here's what most parents don't know:
Your kid's Instagram account might look clean to you—but that's because you're only seeing one of their five accounts.
Instagram lets kids have 5 separate accounts without logging out. One tap in the upper left corner, and they can switch from their "main" account (butterflies and rainbows for parents) to their "spam" accounts where the real activity happens.
But that's just the beginning.
Instagram's new Live Mapping feature shows your child's exact location 24/7—accurate to within 10 feet. Even when they're not using their phone.
Think about that for a second.
A predator can now know:
- Where your child lives and sleeps
- Their school schedule
- What sports they play and when
- Where they work
- What bathroom they use
Real example: Officer Gomez arrested a sex predator at a middle school volleyball game because he was using location tracking to follow a girl he'd been targeting.
And the sextortion crisis is exploding.
Reports jumped from 40,000 in 2021 to 500,000 last year. We're on pace for 1 million this year.
Instagram plays a key role because predators use it to scout victims' friend lists, then threaten to share inappropriate images with everyone the child knows.
The pressure is so intense that kids across America are taking their own lives rather than face the shame.
Here's the truth most parents miss:
Your child WILL be targeted. The question isn't if—it's when, and whether they'll have the skills to handle it safely.
That's why we created the new Instagram Parent Safety Guide.
Based on my latest interview with Officer Gomez, this guide reveals:
✓ The 5 hidden accounts your child probably has (and how to find them)
✓ How "vanish mode" gives kids false security about sending inappropriate content
✓ The influencer scam targeting girls with large followings (fake modeling contracts that turn into sextortion)
✓ Bullying pages that are psychologically destroying kids in every school
✓ The warning signs that your child is being targeted
✓ Simple steps you can take tonight to protect them
✓ How to have "tabletop conversations" that prepare your child before crisis hits
This isn't about taking away their phone. It's about giving them the skills to stay safe while using it.
Because the conversation you have today could save your child's life tomorrow.

P.S. Remember—predators act the same. Only their goals change. The tactics revealed in this guide will protect your child from ALL predators, not just the ones on Instagram.
